Of Films and Phonetics: The Digitization of Yukon History


Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re commemorating over 125 years of the creation of the Yukon Territory. We speak with Paul Caesar-Jules, a Kaska youth from Watson Lake. He tells us about his work at Liard First Nation’s Language Department, where he digitizes tapes of elders communicating in Dene languages. We also hear from Yukon historian Michael Gates, who takes us back to the 1978 discovery of Hollywood silent films, buried under the permafrost in Dawson City -- and what this discovery tells us about the Gold Rush. Finally, we speak with Regional Chief Kluane Adamek. She speaks about the essential role that Indigenous youth play in shaping the future of the Yukon, and about the importance of matrilineal leadership in her community.

Des films et de la phonétique : La numérisation de l’histoire du Yukon


Dans l’épisode d’aujourd’hui, nous commémorons les 125 années depuis la création du territoire du Yukon. Nous nous sommes entretenus avec Paul Caesar-Jules, un jeune Kaska de Watson Lake. Il nous raconte ce qu’il fait comme travail au département linguistique de la Première Nation Liard, où il numérise les médias de cassettes d’aînés parlant en langue dénée. Vous entendrez aussi la voix de Michael Gates, un historien spécialisé sur le Yukon, qui nous ramène à l’époque où des films muets de Hollywood ont été trouvé en 1978, enterrés sous le pergélisol dans la ville de Dawson et ce que cela signifie dans le cadre de la ruée vers l’or. Finalement, nous nous entretenons avec la Cheffe régionale Kluane Adamek. Elle nous parle du rôle important que la jeunesse autochtone aura à jouer pour assurer le futur du Yukon et de l’importance du leadership matrilinéaire dans sa communauté.
