National Indigenous Peoples Day
Celebrate with the KDCC & YFNCT!The Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre (KDCC), in partnership with the Yukon First Nation Culture and Tourism Association (YFNCT), is proud to host a Virtual Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration on June 21, 2020.
As our world is changing and we cannot gather in person, the KDCC and YFNCT have taken this year’s celebration online and we need your help!
We invite you to collaborate with us on a short video montage that can highlight our strong and vibrant Indigenous cultures in Yukon. Help us create a fun, celebratory video that showcases the strength and unity of our communities, and enables us to connect from afar.
Hop in front of the camera and submit a short video, 30 seconds or less, to be part of this virtual community celebration.
Once we pull all the short videos together, the finished product will be a part of our Virtual Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration on June 21, 2020 and will be shared on KDCC’s and YFNCT’s social media channels.
