Many northern communities consider traditional practices as a pathway to mental health and wellness for First Nation youth. Built on previous Selkirk First Nation projects and funded by Health Canada, the focus was to find ways of keeping traditional Tutchone knowledge, practices and culture while adapting to the impacts of climate change. The Selkirk First Nation Climate Change Adaptation Plan was developed. A Fish Camp guide was created as a form of cultural preservation and to facilitate conversations around fish camp activities in relation to connecting the youth to the land as well as to enable sharing of traditional knowledge and skills traditionally taught at the fish camp.
