Synopsis

What does it mean to connect with your ancestral land? In the Northwest Territories of Canada, young people from the Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation journey across Tu Nedhé Lake (Great Slave Lake) with the Ni Hat’ni Dene guardians to learn about the home that their community relies on—a home that’s being opened up as a new national park reserve within the Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected Area. Now, looking after this land means that the Ni Hat’ni Dene Guardians are preserving it not only for future generations here – but also for the world.
