The royal visit will bring Charles, the Prince of Wales, and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, to the Yellowknife area for a packed afternoon on Thursday.

On the agenda are three topics Sangris says are of key importance: climate change, land claims and reconciliation. During that time, Charles is set to spend an hour in Dettah. He'll attend a public fire-feeding ceremony, have the audience with Sangris, watch a handgame demonstration and possibly take part in a drum dance.Two bouquets of northern flowers will be ready Thursday, with young Dettah children expected to present them to Camilla.
The bouquets will include sweetgrass, grevillia that brings to mind the Northern barrens, collared by waxflowers that remind Smith of fireweed and wild roses, held together with a cuff of birch bark harvested locally from fallen trees."Hopefully, it'll be something completely different from what they normally get. That's the hope — they're in a new place and it's going to be unique to us," she said.
They're also scheduled to mark the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Rangers by meeting members at Fred Henne Territorial Park, see the Dettah ice road and visit the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre.
