The Dena Kayeh Institute (“DKI”) is a non-profit society that was established in 2004 and created to empower, preserve, and protect the Kaska Dena language, oral traditions, history, culture, and traditional knowledge.

The primary work of DKI over the past few years is to work with the Kaska Dena communities on designing an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) within the Kaska Ancestral Territory in BC.
