Tlicho Yati
Tlicho Yati is a traditional storytelling practice of the Tlicho people, an Indigenous group in Canada’s Northwest Territories. This form of oral tradition conveys cultural values, history, and teachings through engaging narratives, often featuring animals, nature, and ancestral figures.
The stories serve as a means of preserving the Tlicho language and fostering community connections. They are typically shared during gatherings, reinforcing social bonds and passing down knowledge to younger generations, ensuring the continuation of Tlicho culture and identity.
