Language Preservation in Yukon

This is a great honor for us that the Government of the Selkirk First Nation has invited us to their community. We will apply our LPP (Language Preservation Process) in order to coach some community members on preserving Northern Tutchone. You can see a few pictures from Yukon, as well as a traditional fishing net of the community. I was lucky enough to be invited on a fishing camp: we were able to interview Elders and adults about (and in) the language, and also make various recording of traditional activities, with and for the community. This includes setting fishing nets and a real-life moose hunt from spotting the moose, to gutting and cutting it, and up to loading all the meat on the boat.
I did not only share meat and fish with the community members, I also shared superb moments.
You know what? I miss them already...
