Strong Like Two People: curriculum development for northern creative program on Tlicho lands

This research will help Tlicho youth engage with the teachings of ancestors through art practice—addressing the need for educational opportunities that revolve around northern Indigenous culture.
In the first phase of this research the intern will gather information from Tlicho elders about what aspects of culture (such as oral stories) may be presented in the course. In the second phase, the intern, together with Tlicho elders, will deliver a course that allows young students to tell stories from the north through art practice (using drawing and animation).
