✨ Purchase tickets at tinyurl.com/voiceswindriver ✨The Peel was Protected for Future Generations. Decades after Peel nations came together to bring forward their vision for the land, these generations are experiencing the deep learning and connection that comes from traveling through those lands and waters.
Voices from the Wind River will feature the Whitehorse premiere of “Connections,” a short film by Bethany Paquette that follows youth on a journey through the Wind River. Leaders from the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun, the Yukon First Nation Education Directorate, CPAWS Yukon, and participants from the trip will all be there to speak after the film.
Enjoy incredible footage of the journey down the Wind River, a live performance from Mayo drum group Remmi Elin, and learn about Northern Tutchone land and water initiatives, and First Nation Education in the Yukon. Take action and help raise funds for future on-the-land trips with First Nations youth by bidding on unique items available on our online auction, which will run from November 1st to 30th. Your contributions directly support the next generation’s connection to the land and water.
