Family
"We listened to our
parents, our grandparents and to the elders. We listened to our
family, in the old days." - Marie Cadieux, April 16,
1991

Primary Objective:
Traditionally, the extended family was
the basic unit of survival in Dene culture. The extended
family is still important to the Dene today. Students
will develop a clearer understanding of the role the
family plays in shaping the identity of individuals.
This will also help them understand their own role as
family members. Knowing bloodlines is important because
it enables people to avoid marrying close relations.
