This item consists of interviews with people in Fort Simpson regarding the Norman Wells (IPL) pipeline project, recorded July 1983 by Deena Soicher for the federal "Informational Pipeline" newsletter. The interviews are in English. The original source item is side B of a 60 minute audio cassette. The first section (about 12 minutes) is the second part of a two-part interview of Don Antoine and Kevin Menicoche. They discuss Community Development funding, training opportunities, unemployment, predictions for future development, and increased barge traffic. Kevin is from Fort Simpson and has spent time being educated in the south, including British Columbia and Toronto. He has spent the last couple of summers running and coordinating a community summer camp for students. Don mentions trying to get compensation for the loss of his camp related to pipeline construction and impacts on trappers in the larger area. The interview concludes with a description of program plans. The second section (about 6 minutes) appears to be part of an interview that was recorded at a faster speed and partially taped over. The interviewee and interviewer are not identified. Topics include the availability of planning money, field workers, Norman Wells steering committee, the environment, seasonal employment, and culture. The third section (about 4 minutes) appears to be part of an interview that was taped over. Topics include snow packing, equipment movement, and logistical planning for pipeline work.

This recording includes sides A and B of the tape.
