$439,093.00
Agreement Date:
Apr 1, 2021 - Mar 31, 2024
Description:
The Inuvialuit Place Names Project collects, verifies, and circulates a remarkable collection of archival Inuvialuit place names, drawn from research reports, audio recordings, maps, and other sources recorded over the last 40 years. The primary goal of this project is the establishment of a linguistically robust, authoritative, and community-controlled source of Inuvialuit place names for use by Inuvialuit Regional Corporation agencies tasked with conducting land-use planning and impact assessment reviews, as well as Inuvialuit community members seeking a greater understanding of and connection with the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR). The finalized place name records will be disseminated through a variety of mediums and this consolidated place name resource will then be used to highlight areas which would benefit from a supplementary round of place name documentation studies carried out in the third year of the project.
