Gunalchéesh, Háw’aa to the kids from the Tlingit Culture, Language and Literacy dance group for performing at our Native American Heritage Month celebration. It was so wonderful to watch the children dressed in their regalia, singing in the Tlingit language. In this video, the kids are singing the Language Warrior's Chant. We’re also grateful to Wooshkindeinda.aat Lily Hope for reading her book “Celebration,” which tells the story of a young girl’s trip to Juneau for the biennial dance festival.

Tlingit language teachers are in Carcross this week working with students to help save and preserve the Tlingit language. "Language is the core of our identity," says teacher and elder Kèiyishí Besie Cooley. (More here --> http://www.cbc.ca/1.3715926) | CBC Yukon
