Published purpose

Since 1984, the Waskaganish Sibi Ayimuweyabi (WSA) have been conducting interviews with community members, leaders, youth and elders. For this project, it is our mission to go through all the tapes we have in storage and to digitize cultural and traditional content to broadcast to our community. We will also give access to this content whether stored on hard drive (computer) at our office or even access on our website (which is now being built) to our community members and abroad. The content will be 100% Cree language. The main goal is to digitize, edit, and archive 684 Hours of reel-to-reel tape that we have in storage since the early 80's.
