Eddie Isaac //Ataya Gats'ada// (d. 1968)
	
Eddie Isaac was Southern Tutchone from the now abandoned village of Aishihik where he lived in 1962-63. His father was Chief Isaac. His wife, Sophie, was from Fort Selkirk. They lived and hunted for the most part with their son-in-law, husband of their only surviving daughter. The younger couple had thirteen children. Eddie and his wife; Eddy's older brother, Albert, and his wife; and Charley Stevens, whose wife was a sister of Eddie and Albert formed the nucleus of the Aishihik band.((Catherine McClelland, “The Girl Who Married the Bear: A Masterpiece of Oral Tradition.” Publications in Ethnology; 2.

Jessie Jonathan tells the story about how a grizzly bear attacked Eddie Isaac.  He and Jimmy Johnson were down the Donjek River at a place by the Nisling River. Eddie had killed a sheep and was dragging it down the mountain to find a place to skin it. Jimmy was further down the mountain. Eddie didn't notice but he dragged the sheep over a bear den and the bear came out and attacked him from behind. The bear picked up the sheep and ripped it apart and then attacked Jessie's paternal uncle, Eddie.  He fell to the ground and stuck his legs out toward the bear. The bear started ripping his legs and Eddie had time to get his gun and shoot the bear between the eyes. Then he yelled for Jimmy to help him. Jimmy brought him back to camp and the Indian doctor, Nadaya, was there. He told the people not to look at the wounds or they would scar.  He sang and blew on the wounds and it did not take long for the wounds to heal. Eddie recovered fully and learned the bear talk from Nadaya so he was never bothered by them again.((Margaret Workman, ed. //Kwaday Kwandur: Traditional Southern Tutchone Stories.// Yukon Native Language Centre, 2000: 89-90.))
