In this episode of the Red Man Laughing Podcast we take you up to Denendeh (North West Territories) for our sit down featured chat with the Dene Nahjo collective. After a formal round of introductions to everyone in the group we hear about their commitment to the North, their commitment to their communities and ultimately their commitment to each other.
The Dene Nahjo collective break down how they make decisions as a collective, what it's like to be the fresh face of Dene organizers in their territory and they let us in on what they are trying to build - a healthy, vibrant North commited to "land, language & culture forever."
