Using the Northern Tutchone system of community engagement, stories about Traditional Medicines and past periods of climatic change were recorded. This began a body of research to help the community understand the importance of Traditional Medicine today. An action plan for sustaining Traditional Medicine practices through climate change was developed. Elders have sanctioned this plan, which includes the documentation of traditional medicine knowledge so that actions can be taken to address areas at risk and to identify sensitive gathering areas considered at risk. Posters were made of the Uncle's Retreat and Auntie's Retreat to help communicate accomplishments.
