For generations, the Tłı̨chǫ people have passed down knowledge through storytelling. But today, in a world dominated by digital media, our voices risk being lost in the noise. Tłı̨chǫ Government TV (TGTV) empowers Tłı̨chǫ people to reclaim their stories, strengthen their identity, and inspire future generations. At the heart of TGTV is a powerful vision: to create a living, breathing platform where Elders and youth, storytellers and knowledge keepers, artists and language warriors unite to preserve and share the Tłı̨chǫ way of life. TGTV will not only strengthen the Tłı̨chǫ Nation but serve as a model for Indigenous communities across the Arctic, proving that our stories have power, our voices have value, and our future is ours to shape.
