Description:
Learning From Our Relatives is a 12-month project to document Indigenous cultural heritage which tell the story of Manitoba. Translating and transcribing historical audio video content, as well as creating new recordings of interviews with Indigenous knowledge keepers from around Manitoba, this project will contribute to greater understanding of Manitoba’s history and peoples for all.
This project will focus on digitizing hours of cultural heritage recordings in the collection, as well as identifying and filling gaps in the collection, documenting Indigenous knowledge keepers discussing and presenting their traditional knowledge skills such as food, craft, clothing, land-based learning or art in their original language. These videos will also be translated and transcribed into English and presented online in a virtual exhibit.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
The Learning From Our Relatives project will result in a deeper awareness and understanding of the Heritage Collection at MICEC. While we have maintained the collection for decades, there has not been opportunity or funding to interpret, curate or publish the collection to a greater audience beyond the visitors who can come to our centre in person. By cataloguing and creating a virtual exhibit online, LFOR will increase the accessibility to our centre and the cultural heritage in Manitoba by welcoming a new audience of learners, educators and any one interested in learning about Indigenous cultural heritage in Manitoba.
