Published purpose
This project, an Anishinabe cultural initiative, will build upon an existing foundation through digitizing Indigenous language texts, historical photographs, and additional cassette recordings to add to the archive. This includes cataloguing and digitizing roughly 20 journals of an important now-deceased Elder, written in the Cree syllabic writing system, as well as 200 photographs, and 50 cassettes containing traditional Oji-Cree songs and hymns. Another major component involves adding detailed descriptions to the records in the archive, primarily by transcribing Oji-Cree audio recordings and providing a translation of the contents.
