Denesuline (pronounced de-ne-sooth-lee-ne) is an Athabaskan language spoken by the Dene people across north-central Canada. The Dene have lived in this region for thousands of years, and their name simply means "the people." Traditionally, fishing and caribou hunting have played an important role in Dene life and continue to be closely connected to the language and culture.
Created by the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre in 2012, this course gives learners the opportunity to explore the Denesuline language while gaining a deeper appreciation for the knowledge, values, and way of life it continues to carry forward.
