Culture Camp

Dot Lake Village’s Culture Camp is a fun way for children of all ages to discover our traditions, language and songs. An appreciation for our culture is instilled through hands-on activities. Culture Camp is both a community-building endeavor and a way to share our rich heritage with future generations.

Our 2025 Culture Camp, a 3-day event, took place July 7-9 in Dot Lake Village and surrounding areas. Highlights are pictured below. Activities included:

• Prayer, songs and dances with elders.
• Preparing and preserving fish.
