The Arrival of the Non-Dene

"Long ago before the white people came, our people used to teach each other. We taught the children by telling them stories and having them watch the adults work." - John B. Zoe, Strong Like Two People, November, 1990

Primary Objective:
Before spending time with this theme, the students should know that the Dene were the original occupants of this land, and had learned to live and survive as a people for thousands of years prior to the coming of the Non-Dene. The study of the changes which occurred in the Dene culture as a result of the coming of the Non-Dene will enable students to better understand and control change in the future.
