Reclaiming the Language of Our Land.
Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation Elders & Youth welcome Mãori Rangstahi & Kaitiaki to Timber Bay, NWT for a cultural exchange, sharing ways of knowing and being, language wisdom and oral history. What resulted was a powerful intergenerational transfer of traditional knowledge and language, and a beautiful, permanent connection between two Nations.
