Culture Quest, Whitehorse

Culture Quest, Kwanlin DÜn Cultural Centre

A rare opportunity to connect with an ancient culture in the traditional land of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation. Gather together in a cedar clad longhouse along the banks of the Yukon River. Feast on traditional and modern cuisine. Absorb the stories of this ancient civilization through traditional drumming, song and dance. Meet around the sacred fire to share stories, or wait for the Northern Lights to appear. This is a magical space, where connections are made, naturally.
