Dane-zaa Journey episode 8

In today’s episode we have John Adekat and Pearl Habitant, both are elders and are here today to talk a bit about their family history. They also talk about some of the traditional ways they still practiced, such as trapping and hunting, tanning hides and making dry meat from moose. Both are always willing to teach the younger generation the knowledge that was passed on to them. Come along for the journey with me as I listen to their story.
