We are working with Aurora College, Sport North, the NWT’s Indigenous Sport Circle, and ICS to develop technical Northern Games how-to videos for early childhood curriculums and classrooms that can begin to utilize the games when teaching our youngest generations. Dene Games will also be recorded with instructors in Yellowknife next month.

Here is a short behind-the-scenes from ICS on the afternoon that NGS Executive Director Donald Kuptana spent with the littles at the Children First Society facility in Inuvik!
