Oral history
Oral history of the Yukon languages has long conveyed religion, traditions and views of their world that have been transmitted intergenerationally. Like all natural languages, Northern Tutchone was originally an oral language. Typographic documentations showcase the concept of language and landscape and how each is reliant on the other. The Northern Tutchone call their language “Dan Ki” which means “our way” and refers to all Northern Tutchone traditional knowledge and cultural practices. “Dooli Dan Ki” is the traditional values in which the Northern Tutchone are to conduct themselves in everyday life. These values and morals are found in the Dooli Dan Ki Traditional Story line, to which language revitalization efforts have focused on publishing the oral histories. Northern Tutchone storytelling has been re-modified for the modern First Nation by the production of children’s books and animations, provided in English and Northern Tutchone. The ethonopoetics of the Northern Tutchone contribute to anthropological time lines of the Northern Tutchone’s history, linguistics and mythologies. Similar epistemology can be found in the Dene of the Northwest Territories narratives.
