Objective(s): The project will contribute to a better understanding of what the Gwich'in value as heritage and what measures they wish to take with respect to their cultural resources. This knowledge will help the Gwich'in make choices concerning the management of Gwich'in cultural heritage and of their lands in general. Working in collaboration with the Gwich'in Social and Cultural Institute, the research will examine how the Gwich'in define heritage and how they wish to preserve and foster an appreciation of that heritage. The research will focus on heritage resources in particular through a series of interviews, meetings with a steering committee, and a canoe trip along the Snake or Wind River..
