Reported byCBC Canada ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
More than 8,000 photos, hundreds of hours of audio and video recordings, and textual records documenting six decades of Dane-zaa oral history, songs, and family genealogies were officially repatriated to Treaty 8 First Nations during a ceremony in Fort St. John on Friday, after anthropologists Robin Ridington and Antonia Mills recorded them beginning in the 1960s.
The article does not detail how the materials will be used or stored by the First Nations, or what specific land claim settlements may result from the archive.
