Objective(s): To determine the location and nature of heritage sites which may be important to the Inuvialuit, so that heritage managers can better assess the impacts of development on those resources; and to document aspects of traditional Inuvialuit life that will help with the interpretation of archaeological sites related to the late precontact periods of Inuvialuit life.
Project Description: In this ongoing project to determine the location and nature of heritage sites, the researcher has interviewed 46 elders and 304 sites have been identified. In 1994, the researcher will verify the information provided with the elders. Verification of information will include: the spelling of traditional place names and traditional words, information on traditionally used places, identifying people in archival photos, and an oral history on reindeer herding.
