With students at Chief Julius School, Fort McPherson, NT
What can we learn about Duncan Campbell Scott, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs who sent the treaty party north? Dr. Jean-Luc Pilon sent us this from Ottawa.
Take a look at the letter that Duncan Campbell Scott sent. What do you learn about his views? Do those views seem odd considering the life he lived at home?
We asked Gwich'in fiddler Wally Firth: How did fiddle music come to Fort McPherson a century ago?
Elder Mary Effie Snowshoe described the dances that were held in Fort McPherson ninety years ago. Everyone attended - and they danced until dawn.
Over time, people from other communities - Tsiigehtchic, Old Crow, Tuktoyaktuk - began to travel to Fort McPherson for the dances.
Students took photographs and made a photo album to illustrate the impact that music and dancing have on the people of the Mackenzie Delta today.
