Description:
BCN is developing a collection of documented oral history through mapping interviews with elders and knowledge holders. The collection currently includes audio recordings, notes, interview maps, and GIS shapefiles from 40 interviews carried out between 2008 and 2015. The current project aims to strengthen this collection. The project team will digitize past oral history interview materials and maps for secure storage and use by the Nation. It will also build the Nation’s collection of documented oral history through conducting 7 new interviews focused on the BCN people’s connections to their ancestral lands.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
In the short-term, the project is expected to build the Nation’s collection of documented oral history on the relationship to Bunibonibee's ancestral lands. In the long-term, the project will lead to a more robust collection of documented Indigenous Knowledge, history and language both in Bunibonibee Cree Nation and in the wider Canadian context.
