Old community picture
These and others through out this website are just a few of the stories by the people of Deline. Each is a thread in the tapestry of stories that weave through the community. Up until now these stories have not needed books or newspapers to keep them alive. Some have even argued that it is risky to pass on stories in writing, since they then become accessible to people who don’t know the land. Despite the risk many elders of today have decided to keep their stories preserved in written form. We are grateful to them and their children for their willingness to share these stories.

Traditional Stories Sacred Sites Port Radium Settlement

With such a strong tradition of going out on the land the people of Deline have many sites they consider sacred. Sacred sites typically have a strong connection to hunting and fishing grounds, trails, portage routes and campsites. These stories are two of eight heritage sites and places within the Deline District that were identified by the Sahtu Heritage Places and Sites Joint Working Group in a 199 report entitled Rakeke’e Goke’e Godi (Place We Take Care of).
