The Tlicho

Related Media

This fascinating one-hour special brings to life the world of the Tlicho, an aboriginal First Nations people who have inhabited a vast region of the Canadian Northwest Territories for more than 10,000 years. Today, the Tlicho Nation is a self-governing community of about than 3,000 who control more than 15,000 square miles around Yellowknife, the location of two of the diamond mines featured in the first season of the Ice Road Truckers series. This show explores the history and traditions of the Tlicho, as well as their lives today—from caribou hunting to maintaining the ice roads, to the ways elders and young people are preserving their history for future generations. This Save Our History special shows how the Tlicho have managed to thrive in the modern world while maintaining their distinct traditions and culture.
