YELLOWKNIFE — By the shore of the still\u002Dfrozen Yellowknife River, more than a dozen people gather to prepare fish for cooking over a crackling fire.
Casey said the program is important, as trapping has a strong cultural connection for many people in the N.W.T., but is at risk as many lose touch with their traditional ways.
The program started as a pilot at the North Slave Correctional Complex last year, when every two weeks, inmates in Yellowknife learned outdoor skills from hunting and trapping to repairing snow machines. The program held its fourth and best attended session last week. It was also the first time they met outdoors, reflecting feedback from participants.
