Objective(s): The objective of the research is to develop a Dene Games Educational Website for Chief Jimmy Bruneau School that can be used as an educational tool in the classroom. The website will be about the history, cultural significance, stories, old and new pictures of the games, the achievements of the school's athletes at the Arctic Games, and audio/visual descriptions of how each game is played. Preserving the games on a website has a two-fold purpose: allowing a unique cultural experience to be preserved for the future generations of Dene people, and allowing students everywhere a chance to learn about Dene games and culture.
