LSCFN and Yukon College teamed up to deliver the Essential Skills: Introduction to Plumbing and Heating program in Carmacks that started in October 2016. The College’s Mobile Trades Training Trailer stationed at the Carmacks community campus provided theoretical trade knowledge and the students obtained hands-on experience assisting with the current retro-fit of the LSCFN government building. Under the LSCFN Strategic Plan a 10 year capital plan established priorities for the building of new infrastructure and the upgrading of existing facilities by the Capital & Infrastructure Department. This plan does and will deliver unique opportunities for our youth by providing basic pre-apprenticeship, as well as on the job training as an apprentice to learn the skills of the trade to become a certified journeyperson. Presently working on the retro-fit is a LSCFN Red Seal journeyman carpenter, an apprentice, our graduates and labourers.

It was a fun filled day with a lot of laughter.

Aboriginal Language is important to who we are and the culture we live

LITTLE SALMON CARMACKS FIRST NATION
Aboriginal Language Day Celebrations Dän Yóónji dzenú On March 31, 2016, Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation held two Aboriginal Language Day Celebrations: In Whitehorse and Carmacks.
In schools now, children are been taught their languages but very few adults will speak back at home to the children. I would like to see families talking to each other more. It has to be talked every day for the language to keep going forward in the future. Our language is and was always part of our culture. It defines who we. are.
The Whitehorse Celebration was hosted at the Yukon Inn Plaza by Native Language Instructor Trainee, Jocelyn Skookum, and Whitehorse Office Administrator, Kayla Mintz. 26 participants joined the Whitehorse celebration. It was a fun filled night of activities and door prizes. In order for the participants to enter their name in the draw, they had to say a sentence in Northern Tutchone to Elders, Gertie Tom and Rosilee Brown. Everyone played ‘Indian Bingo’ and enjoyed a Northern Tutchone lesson. The Carmacks Aboriginal Language Day celebration was hosted by Elder Agnes Charlie, Native Language Instructor, Alma Wrixon, Culture Education Coordinator, and Grace Wheeler at the Heritage Hall. They celebrated with dinner, listening exercises, Indian bingo, regular bingo, and door prizes. Elders, Grandma May Roberts and Agnes Charlie sang tradition Northern Tutchone songs. It was an evening filled with learning and laughter. Everyone who attended the celebrations enjoyed themselves and was a great opportunity for LSCFN Whitehorse citizens to get to know each other, as well as, strengthen the bond between Elders and Youth.
