Shack Tales Episode 4

In this episode, I will share more about our day to day shack life, and you will learn about a few more colourful characters who live (or lived) in old town.   As I watched my daughters grow into vibrant young women, and leave the shack to begin their own lives, I reflect quickly on how the years have past and how much I miss the immediacy of the love and relationship we shared.   Recorded live in February 2012 at the Northern Arts and Cultural Centre in Yellowknife located on Chief Drygeese Territory, the traditional land of the Yellowknife's Dene First Nation.   I would like to thank The City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee and the NWT Arts Council for supporting these podcasts.
