Release of Short Film: Reclaiming the Language of Our Land

7/17/2024

 
We are pleased to announce the release of a short film about a cultural exchange that took place in September 2022 at Ɂedacho Tłaze (Timber Bay).

At the place where the forest meets the tundra, 
Łutsël K’é Dene Elders and youth and Mãori Rangstahi and Kaitiakiand shared ways of knowing and being, language, and oral history. The result was a powerful intergenerational transfer of traditional knowledge and Dënesųłiné language, and a beautiful, permanent connection between two Nations.

VISION

We are the Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation. Our vision for Thaidene Nëné is:
Nuwe néné, nuwe ch'anıé yunedhé xa (Our land, our culture for the future). 


We’re working with our partners to permanently protect Thaidene Nëné—part of our
huge and bountiful homeland around and beyond the East Arm of Tu Nedhé.
