Welcome to Kǫ̀ts’ììhtì (K’atl’odeeche) Day in the Tłı̨chǫ region, a land rich in history and tradition. Spanning the communities of Behchokǫ̀, Whatì, Gamètì, and Wekweètì, this video highlights the cultural importance of hide tanning, a practice passed down through generations.

Guided by knowledge keepers, the Tłı̨chǫ people continue to preserve and share the art of tanning moose and caribou hides, honoring the harvesters who make this work possible. Blending traditional teachings with modern tools, this process reflects resilience, respect for the land, and the responsibility to keep these skills alive.

Whether you are learning for the first time or reconnecting with tradition, viewers are encouraged to watch, listen, and ask questions, remembering that there is more than one way to carry knowledge forward.
