Dane-zaa Journey episode 4


Listen Later

Hello and welcome back,

today I visited Mary Francis and sat down with her to discuss her life

and how she used to go to rocky lane school to teach kids beaver in an
after-school program. She also talked about how to tan a moose hide. I also
stopped by Louie Atchooay (Mary’s brother) place for a quick coffee and asked
him about a few words in beaver and moose population. On my way home I stopped
by Mary’s again to get a few more stories of our community’s history. Come
along for the journey with me as we learn from our elders.
