Inspiration
The travel routes section of this website was heavily inspired by a similar site created by the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, called "Lessons from the Land," that deals with the history and culture of the Dogrib people of the Northwest Territories. See www.lessonsfromtheland.ca We wish to acknowledge that the Heritage Centre is the creative genius behind the travel route concept which is a powerful way to place stories about the land and the material culture used there within their historical and geographic contexts.
