The Child

"It was said that one day a Child will be born among the Dene who will change the world. This child will be born with a drum held in his hands. He will help us to regain our strength as a people." - (Izi) Joe Naedzo, The Sahtuotine Long Ago, 1991

 
Primary Objective:
It is hoped that through the development of this curriculum the children will realize how valuable they are to the Dene culture, elders and people. Students should learn how children were viewed and brought up traditionally. They should evaluate child-rearing methods in the past, and compare them with present methods. They will understand the importance of sharing, being self-disciplined, and learning from their elders.
