Allan Benjamin is a poet, a cartoonist, a fiddle player and a snow shoe racer from Old Crow, Yukon. Allan is a Vuntut Gwich'in artist who provides cartoons and poems to What's Up Yukon. He introduces us to two sets of characters who represent Allan's family and traditional Gwich'in life growing up in Old Crow.
Didee & Didoo is Gwitch'in for Grandma & Grandpa.
Shoo’ii and Sheek’aii is Gwitch'in for Auntie & Uncle.
They will help us all learn Gwich'in, Allan hopes to see more poems submitted in Native Language!
