Description
The mandate of the Department of Culture and Heritage is “to document, preserve and promote Gwich’in culture, language, traditional knowledge and values.” The Department conducts research in the areas of culture, language and traditional knowledge so that this body of knowledge will be recorded and available for future generations, and to assist in the development of programs appropriate for Gwich'in needs.
Description (French)
La Division de la culture et du patrimoine a pour mandat de « documenter, préserver et promouvoir la culture, la langue, les connaissances traditionnelles et les valeurs gwich’in ». Elle effectue des recherches dans les domaines de la culture, des langues et du savoir traditionnel pour que ces connaissances soient consignées et accessibles aux générations futures ainsi que pour appuyer la création de programmes adaptés aux besoins des Gwich'in.
Expected Results
The expected short-term results include the hiring of a contract archivist, the assessment of the Department's current research materials and files, and the creation of an archiving plan. The expected long-term goals include the implementation of the archiving plan, including a location for storing hard-copy materials, a plan for the digital archives the Department has accrued and will continue to accrue, along with all required logistics support to ensure that the archives are sustainable and useful and that they fit with the Department's work plans. Increased and sustainable access to the Department's archives for Gwich'in individuals and researchers will be another key aspect of this work.
Expected Results (French)
Dans un premier temps, il s’agira d’embaucher un archiviste contractuel, d’évaluer les documents et le matériel de recherche de la division et de créer un plan d’archivage. Par la suite, l’objectif sera d’exécuter ledit plan d’archivage, lequel doit prévoir un emplacement pour entreposer les archives physiques ainsi qu’un plan pour les archives numériques que la division a acquises et continuera d’accumuler, avec les ressources nécessaires pour que les archives soient durables et utiles et qu’elles cadrent avec le plan de travail de la division. L’amélioration et la durabilité de l’accès aux archives pour les Gwich'in et les chercheurs représentent également des aspects importants de ce projet.
