The Path Foretold - Dene Thá History and The Impact of Residential Schools on Language

My wife (Nikeeya) and co-content-creator on this channel has many stories to tell about the lives and teachings of her people, the Dene Thá of northern Alberta, Canada.

This is a rather uplifting video, accompanied by drum music and historical photos from the time as she shares a remarkable prophecy her grandfather uttered regarding her future (which came true), how they survived off the land in the old days, her time spent in an Indian Residential School during the 50's and 60's and how that affected the continued use of their language.
