Dakelh Language –<\/p>\n

http:\/\/maps.fphlcc.ca\/fphlcc\/dakelh<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a First Nation map of the Dakelh language also known as the Carrier.\u00a0\u00a0 The reasoning for this post is simple.\u00a0 Today at a meeting we discussed incorporating Aboriginal content, and some ideas included carvings, drum-making, dance, etc.\u00a0 Once the discussion started however, we brought forth the point that incorporating content just to do so isn\u2019t important unless it is relevant.\u00a0 The Carrier aren\u2019t carvers like the Haida so why would we carve.\u00a0 In addition, drums have a spirit, to make one just to make one is simply a trinket in the eyes of local elders.\u00a0 If we are to bring in content we need to ensure it is relevant to the local Carrier.<\/p>\n

The Carrier name comes from the idea once a person died, they were cremated and their ashes would be \u2018carried\u2019 around.\u00a0 The language is in various states as you can see in this table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
