How It Works

The local Chipewyan Working Group often sponsors workshops in the community and invites learners from the learning centre to participate. Learners have taken part in:

• Medical, government and justice terminology workshops.
• Chipewyan writing workshops.
• Work on the Chipewyan alphabet.
• Chipewyan handicrafts.
• Collecting elders’ stories.
