A presentation from Norman Yakeleya about the Canol Trail Youth Leadership Hike. During World War II, the Canol Trail was used to supply crude oil from Norman Wells to Whitehorse. The Sahtu Dene and Mé​tis people were key in blazing the alpine trail through the Mackenzie Mountains. Since 2005, guides from Tulita and Norman Wells have been taking young people ages 13 to 21 out on the trail to connect with the land and the people who walked that ground before them. Norman will be sharing with us about the Canol Trail Youth Leadership Hike, as well as a bit about the history of the Canol and Dene Laws. His presentation will touch on themes of reconciliation, remediation, land claims as a tool for both, and the role of youth leadership and on the land learning.
