This audio recording features an interview with Donald (Don) Sian, in which he shares his memories of growing up in the early days of Yellowknife without modern conveniences. He discusses the phenomenon of garden raiding, and attending school and his participation in various sports, including a 40-mile walkathon in 1967. He shares his memories of notorious Yellowknife residents, including Tom Doornbos, the Caribou Queen, Sophie Football, Danny Bacon, the Bromley’s, and Father Ebner. He also shares anecdotal stories of his experiences as a youth in Yellowknife.
Over the second segment of the audio recording, Don Sian discusses the changes in the Caribou Carnival over the years. He reminisces on former residents of the mining communities, and the friendly hockey rivalries of the mining communities. He also shares his thoughts on future progress of Yellowknife and potential future development of the city.
