SUMMARY:Dene K'éh Kusān: Always Will Be There | Film and discussion with Y2Y and Dena Kayeh Institute
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 25\, join us to learn how the Kaska Dena have\, and continue to steward and protect Dene K’éh Kusān for all to experience\, honor\, and sustain\, for generations to come.\n\n\n\nImagine a remarkable\, intact wild place\, abundant with grizzly bears\, elk and caribou. A place where you can walk ancient Indigenous trails for weeks without meeting another soul. Somewhere both people and wildlife can thrive for generations to come. \n\n\n\nYellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) and Dena Kayeh Institute invite you to explore this incredible vision for Kaska lands\, people\, culture and way of life through Dene K’éh Kusān (pronounced “deh-nay kay koo-sahn”)\, which means ‘The People’s Way\, Always.’ \n\n\n\nLocated in the core of the Kaska Ancestral Territory in northern British Columbia\, Dene K’éh Kusān — a proposed Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) — also adds an important puzzle piece to the Yellowstone to Yukon region. \n\n\n\nJoin us on May 25 for a screening of the 24-minute documentary\, Dene K’éh Kusān: Always Will Be There\, followed by a discussion on the plan to protect this special\, and important place for generations to come — and how you can help support these Indigenous-led conservation efforts. \n\nFollowing the film screening\, we will learn more about the plan for Dene K’éh Kusān from four speakers: \n\n\n\n\nGillian Staveley\, director of culture and land stewardship\, Dena Kayeh Institute\nTanya Ball (Dahkadle)\, coordinator for the Dane Nan Yḗ Dāh (Kaska Land Guardians) Network\, Dena Kayeh Institute\nTim Burkhart\, landscape protection manager\, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative\nNorm MacLean\, senior wildlife biologist\, LGL Limited\, and technical advisor\, Dena Kayeh Institute\n\n\n\n\nGillian Staveley\, Tanya Ball and Norm MacLean who will share more about the Kaska Dena vision for how this incredible landscape will always be there\, and how they are working with partners to protect Dene K’éh Kusān in a way that creates jobs\, supports a thriving Kaska culture\, shelters threatened species and becomes a world-class protected area for future generations. \n\n\n\nY2Y’s Tim Burkhart will also discuss how Y2Y is working with the Dena Kayeh Institute on advancing this proposed IPCA; and how we can all be allies in achieving the Kaska Dena’s plan for Dene K’éh Kusān. \n\n\n\nThis free event will take place online on Thursday\, May 25\, 2023\, from 6 – 7:30 p.m. PT / 7 – 8:30 p.m. MT. The webinar will be recorded\, though we encourage you to attend the live event if you can.

All are anchored to the land. \n\n\n\nNarrated by DKI’s President\, Kaska Elder\, and well-known Indigenous Leader\, Dave Porter\, Always Will Be There shares the Kaska Dena vision for how we can protect and care for four million hectares of land and water — the largest remaining intact landscape in British Columbia. \n\n\n\nDene Kʼéh Kusān is at the very epicentre of our traditional territory\, where you won’t find any roads or powerlines\, but you can feel the heartbeat of our people in the boreal forests\, in the towering mountains\, and in the confluences of the rivers. \n\n\n\nThe Kaska Dena have cared for these lands and waters since time immemorial. Now\, we are drawing on Kaska knowledge and stewardship to protect Dene Kʼéh Kusān for all to experience\, honour\, and sustain\, for future generations.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeader photo: Courtesy of Dena Kayeh Institute
