The northeastern Athapaskan‐speaking Bearlake Indians prefer experiential knowledge and primary epistemic reasons in the justification of beliefs. Bearlakers base local authority on such knowledge and justification, the epistemological and political significance of which derives historically from their hunter‐gatherer mode of production.
