Family Trip To Dene Assembly (4K)

This is personal account of our trip, together with our grandchildren, to further acquaint them with their Dene background and family connections. Recommended viewing if you are interested in First Nations culture, Dene hand games and drum dancing especially. For those who don't know, an "Assembly" is the Dene equivalent of a pow-wow.
