Published purpose
This project will focus on digitizing oral histories by recording interviews. This activity is urgent, given that the knowledge pool continues to shrink as Elders pass away. The Nation has been cataloguing and digitizing the Nation’s oral histories for decades. Archives support the survival of oral history, language revitalization, assertions of land rights, reclamation of identity, and recovery from genocide. This project will refine the capacities built during the previous Alexis History Project, made possible by the DHCP. Three researchers will be hired. They will be assisted by fluent Stoney speakers to conduct interviews with Elders.
