Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Education Centre Inc.

Published purpose

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.
