Published purpose

The main goal of the TARR Program Archive's project is to digitize key cultural and language recordings for preservation and access and translation purposes. The Archive houses cassettes and VHS formats dating from 1969 to the early 2000s, featuring language recordings by Elders who discuss the making of treaties in Alberta. These discussions form a significant part of the First Nations’ relations to Canada. Many of these Elders have since passed, making these recordings the sole known source of their voices sharing stories about treaty making in Alberta.
