Deborah Simmons edited the newsletter and Robert Kershaw did art, design, and layout. Alfred Masuzumi was the community liaison.

Henry Tobac’s poetic journal forms a considerable portion of this edition. Henry Tobac is from Fort Good Hope, and wrote a number of poems that explore the Human, Dene experience from 1995 to 2001.

The youth pages at the end of the document are filled with ideas about what students want to be when they grow up. Aspirations include being: a pro NHL player, a rap artist, a model, a police officer, a game designer, and a teacher. There are also many stories and illustrations with family scenes showing young Dene pictures of everyday life.
