Some families brought their dogs with them to our camp. Our dogs were very important to us in the past. They severed as our transportation, they were our dog team. They worked very hard during the winter months pulling our fire wood. Our dogs brought us to check our traps and to check our fish nets. Our father or uncles went to town to get our necessities for our families by our dog team. Our dogs were looked after very well by all family members.
Our Dene Band and school collaborated together to sends our youth and their families out to Willow Lake in 2011. It was an awesome experience they have not forgotten. They learned about the ways of our people and brought with them pride and joy to have been a part of this beautiful experience. |
