The Tłı̨chǫ Government has launched Gowhahdǫǫ Gits’ǫ Etǫ Nıwheɂàa (See the Trails of our Ancestors), an interactive, 3D, digital map focused on gathering and sharing Tłı̨chǫ history and culture. The map allows users to travel our land virtually and visit culturally and historically significant sites, hear stories from our Elders, and learn about our culture, language, and history.
Gowhahdǫǫ Gits’ǫ Etǫ Nıwheɂàa showcases important locations along the trails between the communities of Behchokǫ̀ and Whatı̀ that have been identified by Elders in the two communities, as significant.
Experience the virtual trails in English, French, and Tłı̨chǫ Yatıì at https://tlichovirtualtrails.ca/
Masi Cho to all Elders, on-the-land guides, filmmakers, web designers, and Tłı̨chǫ Government staff for your hard work and dedication to this project and to Digital Museums Canada, whose generous funding support made this project possible.
