yourself." - Elizabeth Mackenzie, Deline workshop,

Primary
Objective:
Parenting is an important part of a Dene child's
development. From the Dene parents come the values,
teaching and perspective of a Dene society. Students
will learn about the traditional Dene way of parenting,
and also begin to explore new ways of parenting based on
today's needs. Before students can choose the way they
will be parents,they have to know the way it used to be.
