Gwich'in Language and Cultural Project

Histoire administrative

In 1983, a project known as the Gwich'in Language and Cultural Project was undertaken in Fort McPherson to research the language and culture of the Gwich'in people. The intent was to gather information, materials relating to Fort McPherson, and the Gwich'in people, past, and present, and eventually establish a library of resource materials for the community. Sarah Jerome was the Project Coordinator. Information and materials were collected from a wide variety of sources including archives, libraries, Fort McPherson residents, and organizations such as Committee for Original Peoples' Entitlement (COPE). The Northwest Territories Archives provided copies of relevant archival materials as well as duplication services for photographs loaned to the project.

Historique de la conservation

Portée et contenu

This collection consists of copies of 282 photographs in print and negative format, 107 audio recordings and one folder of textual material collected by the Gwich'in Language and Cultural Project in 1983 and 1984. The photographs were loaned to the project by Fort McPherson residents: Effie Thomas, Doris Lester, Mary Wilson, Laura Firth, Mary Jane Kunnizzi, Mary Francis, Louise Snowshoe, Tabitha Nerysoo, and the Chief Julius School. The original images appear to date from the 1940s to the 1970s and feature people and locations in the Fort McPherson area. Most of the audio recordings are from the Committee for Original Peoples' Entitlement (COPE) collection, except for 18 recordings identified as "Land Research Series." All recordings date from 1972 to 1977. The two items of textual material were collected from the Chief Julius School, and along with photographs, made up part of a booklet produced for a class history project. The items are a copy of a 1918 letter from Reverend Alfred J. Vale, and a copy of the poem "The Mackenzie River Band." A photocopy of the booklet is available
