 Today, we are learning from Dene knowledge keepers from the Yellow Knives Dene First Nations in Chief Draghi's territory of Treaty 8. It is February and we are heading to Fish Camp on Tin Dee, or Great Slade Lake. Fish are an important relative and teacher of the Dene. These harvesters know exactly where to set their nets under the ice and have come back to check them. Looks like they're full of fish. The harvesters take only what they need. They don't waste the fish and they share the catch with the community. Everyone is involved in the harvest. Some people are good at setting nets. Others are good at filleting the fish or making dry fish. And many people are good helpers. Elder Amin Sangris is teaching how to make dry fish. Dry fish keeps fish for a long time. And then three. I'm just going to use a tip of my knife because I don't want to go inside and cut all the guts. There's a bladder in here that you don't want to bust. I'm just going to stay on top like that. Once I hit right here, there's a bone that goes like that, like that, that's a bee. You've got to cut right in between that bee in order to continue cutting until you get to this part. After a while, with me, I just cut right through. I can fly so easy now. Now I'm going to take the gut out. One, two, three, and the gut comes out. Then you put forward four. The gut comes out on the fourth one. This is the one you don't want to bust. You see that yellow thing there? It's going to go all over the fish. That's going to ruin the fish so I'm going to take it out before it happens. Okay. See, I got it out. Just like that. Okay, now I'm going to take this part out here. Right here, I'm going to cut it like that. And it's good to have a nice round knife to cut this like this. And that way, you see, I can just scrape it out. See how easy that comes out with a round knife like that? See, just like that. Take all that out. And now, I'm going to take the gills out too. Take it out like that. Just because the fish is so slippery, that's why I like to use gums when I work with fish. Okay, now we've got our fish all clean. I'm going to wash it. Get it ready for cooking. Now it's ready to cook. See how easy that is? See now. And now, I can make two servings. Now Irene is demonstrating how to make fish filets to fry and eat. Oh, you touched the stones. You touched the stones. You touched the stones. So that fish there is that's cooked. It's like fish you can help yourself. You got forks? There was here. Forks would be good. Okay, so now you guys will know how to make filet when you go out camping or whatever. Yeah. How do they do it? This one here, you just press it all. Yeah. Can you draw a white fish too? And I wash it off like that. Some seasoning salt, different kinds of seasoning salt. Put this in the flour, have my frying pan over on the campfire. And I would put butter in the frying pan. And that's it. Right on time. Fishing is an important practice for the denne. And it has sustained the denne nation for thousands of years. Fish camp brings everyone together. There's a lot of laughter. People share food and stories and take care of each other. The fish take care of the denne. And the denne take care of the lake. Masi chow, Irene. Watch for the bone. There's some fish cook here. Do you want to take this home? You can fry it. Thank you very much.
