About Nits’ä̀t nidäzhùr hë ä̀’tr’ënëtl’ù’ - We Sew Our Blanket With Our Voices
From the publisher's feed
Nits’ä̀t nidäzhùr hë ä̀’tr’ënëtl’ù’ - We Sew Our Blanket With Our Voices is a podcast made by Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in citizens for Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in citizens. Produced largely within our traditional territory, the podcast connects citizens, wherever they may live, to Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in stories, knowledge, songs, lived experiences, and insights. We also warmly welcome non-Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in listeners into this space of sharing and learning.
Rooted in the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in understanding that the land is a teacher and a source of cultural knowledge, each episode explores the connections between people, place, language, culture, and community. Voices from across generations, including youth, Elders, and everyone in between, come together to share stories of the land, lessons learned, concerns for ecological health, and hopes for the future.
Nits’ä̀t nidäzhùr hë ä̀’tr’ënëtl’ù’ reminds us that every stitch matters. In the context of this podcast, every voice, every story, and every contribution forms part of a larger tapestry of Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in experiences, relationships, and knowledge. Like sewing, storytelling brings together different materials, perspectives, and people into something whole. Meaningful work is done one stitch at a time, with care, patience, and intention, creating a blanket woven from the voices of our people.
So grab a tea, stay a while; Nëkhwëtr'ënoh'ąy häjit shò tr'ìnląy (We are happy to see you)!
