GWICH'IN YOUTH GATHERING

The 2008 first ever Gwich'in Youth Gathering will provide the Gwich'in youth with a venue to come together to celebrate their culture in addition to discussing issues which they are facing and challenged by in today’s society, as young aboriginal peoples, living in isolated communities.

Some of the topics of discussion will be focused on challenges in today’s society, promoting arts and culture, providing opportunities to learn or expand youth knowledge in fiddling, guitar and music, engage our young people in learning how to play the traditional Athabascan Gwich'in style fiddle and guitar tunes, education, politics, and preservation of the Porcupine Caribou herd, language preservation, Alcohol and Drugs, and Traditional Gwich’in Practices. In addition to these discussions and workshop topics there will be a huge emphasis and training component with focus on Leadership Training as well as skills development.

A delegation of Gwich'in youth will be chosen to attend the Biennial Gwich'in Gathering July 13 – 19th, 2008 to be held in Old Crow, Yukon to put forward their recommendations and resolutions passed during the Gwich'in Youth Gathering.
