Eating and
Food
"Due to the harshness
of the land, no person, tribe or culture could deny others
access to food. All accepted and adhered to this 'unstated law'.
The worst crime for the Dene was to deny food to others."
- (Izi) Joe Naedzo, The Sahtuotine Long Ago, 1991

Primary Objective:
Students will understand that the land
has provided the Dene with everything they needed to
survive for thousands of years. All kinds of animals,
plants and fish were available. The Dene have developed
their own system of food gathering, preparation and
preservation. Food is a source of wealth for the Dene.
It must be shared to be replenished. One must never deny
another food. |
