The sound recordings date from 1987-1990 and were a result of three separate projects that were conducted by the Geographical Names Program. The first series of recordings (CN-1 through CN-16) were created between 1988-1989 and include interviews with elders from Paulatuk about traditional geographical names in the area. The second series (CN-17 through CN-25) contains interviews conducted in 1987 by Allice Legat and Territorial Toponymist Randy Freeman, with Sachs Harbour elder William Kuptana. The interviews focused primarily on William Kuptana's life as well as recorded traditional geographical names in the area. The remaining series (CN-33 through CN-87 and CN-90) contains recordings from the Dogrib Names Study. This project was an internal project through the Geographical Names Program to gather all traditional Tlicho (Dogrib) geographical names. The recordings include extensive elders' interviews conducted in Behchoko (Rae) and Whati (Lac La Martre) between 1989-1990.
