Description
Through this project, Grand Council Treaty #3 aims to document the history and stories of Manito Aki Inakonigaawin (MAI), the Great Earth Law of the Anishinaabe, in Treaty #3. The project will involve interviewing Elders and knowledge keepers on this sacred law and translating the recordings from Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) into English. This project is being developed in partnership with the Niiwin Wendaanimok Partnership.
Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet, le Grand Council Treaty No 3 souhaite documenter l’histoire et les récits de la Manito Aki Inakonigaawin, la « grande loi de la Terre » du peuple Anishinaabe édictée dans le Traité no 3. Le projet consistera à tenir des entrevues avec des aînés et des gardiens du savoir sur cette loi sacrée et à traduire les enregistrements de l’anishinaabemowin (ojibwé) à l’anglais. Il est mené en partenariat avec le groupe Niiwin Wendaanimok.
Expected Results
The expected results of this project include the creation of raw copies of interviews with Elders and knowledge keepers about the Manito Aki Inakonigaawin. These raw copies will be used later for integration into a documentary project. These raw copies set out short-term expectations. Longer-term expectations include community access to the interview recordings and integration into the MAI documentary.
Expected Results (French)
Dans un premier temps, le projet vise la production d’entrevues brutes avec des aînés et des gardiens du savoir à propos de la Manito Aki Inakonigaawin. Ce contenu sera par la suite intégré à un projet documentaire. À long terme, on souhaite que la communauté ait accès à ces enregistrements et qu’ils soient intégrés au documentaire sur la Manito Aki Inakonigaawin.
