In early September, Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation and Parks Canada co-hosted the second ecological monitoring and knowledge sharing camp. Community members of all ages, First Nation staff, and members of the Parks Canada team spent ten days together on the shores of Ɂedacho Tué (Artillery Lake), where the forest meets the tundra. They camped, set and pulled nets, took soil core samples, shared meals and knowledge, played hand games, hiked, serviced cameras and audio recording units, gathered wood, picked berries, deployed temperature sensors, and told and listened to stories. Gatherings like this are vital to nurturing our relations with the land, each other, and our partners, and ensuring our Dënesųłıné way of life continues long into the future. Read more about the ecological monitoring and knowledge sharing camp in the September newsletter. There is also a profile of Parks Canada summer student, Robin Catholique, and an update on a research project called, “Nuwé yáti t’á thaıdene nëné bek’e dárı́dı háɂą́” / “Protecting our ancestral homelands with our words.” |
