“Sacred Fire for youth”

Earlier in the spring, Elders, community members, KDFN Chief Doris Bill and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council Chief Amanda Leas came together for a sacred fire for youth at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre.

Doronn Fox of Tsalazra was an organizer.

He said: This fire is for the Yukon community, the recent losses are affecting everyone. The fire is to honour the ones lost…. We are grateful for the opportunity to support the community at this time of need.”
