Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre
1171 Front Street Y1A 0G9 Whitehorse, YT, Canada

It's the last week of our hosting 'Honouring Our Future', an exhibition featuring Yukon First Nations Graduation Regalia here at the KDCC. To celebrate the show (here until April 30th), we wanted to share this video of the exhibition's curator, Lisa Dewhurst. Lisa's impact and vision were integral in bringing this show to life! We would also like to thank Lotteries Yukon and Government of Yukon for their funding of this travelling exhibition. The exhibit will be travelling up to the Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre for Summer 2021!

Language is the heart of culture...

What a beautiful way to pass on memories and culture!
