Join Dennis Shorty and Jenny, the dynamic duo known as Jennis, for an interactive and uplifting session blending culture, storytelling, and music. Dennis, a Master Carver, singer-songwriter, knowledge keeper, and residential school survivor from the Kaska First Nation, grew up immersed in art and tradition. Jenny, originally from East Germany, embraced Yukon life when she moved to Ross River to support Dennis’s artistic journey. Together, they have built a life of creativity, resilience, and connection. Their workshop invites you to experience healing through drumming, singing, and dance—so bring a drum if you have one and prepare to be inspired.
