Kluane Outdoor Inspiration

Pauly has lived her life in Lhù’ààn Mân Keyí – Kluane Lake Country and she is passionate about sharing her knowledge about the people’s history and the natural environmental changes of the region. Over the course of her career, Pauly has held the positions such as Heritage Manager and Executive Director for Kluane First Nation, Heritage Presenter and Aboriginal Liaison for Kluane National Park and Reserve, and Executive Director for Dän Keyi Renewable Resource Council. Guided by her work and personal interests, she has had many opportunities to gain greater insight and broaden perspectives. Pauly has actively been an advocate for her nation and the natural environment throughout all the positions she has held and she continues to do so, now through Kluane Outdoor Inspirations.

Teachings about the traditional uses of this particular plant, Dän Zhùr was passed down to Pauly from her great grandmother, Mary Copper Joe-Jacquot and her grandmother, Josie Sias. It is Pauly’s pleasure to share the knowledge as it was shared with her and in doing so, to help keep passing on tradition and culture through the art of storytelling.
