44th Annual Dene National Assembly will be in Fort Smith, NWT from June 16-20, 2014. In addition there will be a marketplace for fine arts and handcrafted artwork from northern artists, and artisans.
We spoke with Kathleen Graham, Community Coordinator of 44th Dene National Assembly from Katlodeeche First Nation (Hay River Dene Reserve) about the marketplace, and she estimates to have 40-50 booths. 15 booths have been book so far, and they expect it to go fast!
The Marketplace will be located in the basement of the Catholic Church, and they expect 500-1000 people to attend the Dene Assembly. 286 of those will be community delegates from across the Northwest Territories
