There will be something noticeably different in Old Crow, Yukon, in a few months. The hum of diesel engines will be gone. For the first time in 50 years there will be silence.
Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation s solar farm is now generating electricity. In July, the array will be fully operational, capable of meeting the community s needs, to the degree diesel generators some of which date back to the 1970s will be powered down on sunny days.
Leaders with the First Nation say the farm will displace 190,000 litres of diesel fuel every year, or 750 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. That represents a roughly 25 per cent annual reduction in diesel fuel use.
For the first time, the whole Dene family was talking to each other.
That s how Mountain Dene Elder and northern broadcasting icon Paul Andrew described the inquiry into the proposed Mackenzie Valley Gas Pipeline also known by the name of its chair, The Berger Inquiry.
Thomas Berger died this week at the age of 88.
CBC North has spent much of the last few days remembering the lawyer, judge and champion of Indigenous land and treaty rights. The stories and ways that northerners are remembering Mr. Berger have created incredible meaning for me, a non-Indigenous radio host living and working in the Northwest Territories, in Denendeh.
