  Doig River First Nation Launches Virtual Museum Exhibit:=20
  Dane Wajich: Dane-zaa Stories & Songs: Dreamers and the Land







  [http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/Exhibitions/Danewajich]

  October 25th, 2007
  Doig River, B.C., Fort St. John, B.C., Vancouver, B.C.

  The Doig River First Nation, an Aboriginal Dane-zaa group from =
northeastern B.C., has officially launched their virtual exhibit Dane =
Wajich Dane-zaa Stories & Songs: Dreamers and the Land. The exhibit =
showcases Doig River First Nation oral traditions and teaches about =
Dane-zaa history and culture through an exciting mix of video and sound =
files, photographs, and text. This online exhibit was developed in =
partnership with the Virtual Museum of Canada (VMC) at virtualmuseum.ca, =
an initiative of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

  The exhibit represents the work of many people over several years. In =
the summer of 2005, Dane-zaa elders, youth, and community members =
collaborated with a team of specialists to document and contribute to =
the revitalization of Dane-zaa culture and language. Elders brought the =
documentary team to eight places in their territory where they shared =
oral histories about the stories, songs, people, and experiences that =
connect them to the land, and the impact that oil and gas =
industrialization has had on these places. The stories and songs =
presented also introduce viewers to a long line of Dane-zaa Dreamers who =
have provided spiritual and practical guidance for Dane-zaa people for =
hundreds of years. For Chief Kelvin Davis, =E2=80=9CThis project, Dane =
Wajich, is a positive step in helping the public to know and understand =
that we still carry out our cultural and traditional practices, and =
assert our Aboriginal and Treaty Rights. We maintain our way of life, =
and this is one of the values from our culture that we want to share =
with the world.=E2=80=9D  For co-curators Amber Ridington (PhD =
Candidate, Folklore, Memorial University of Newfoundland) and Kate =
Hennessy (PhD Candidate, Anthropology, University of British Columbia), =
the project exemplifies the potential for new media to facilitate =
collaborative research and skills training, and to create opportunities =
for First Nations to communicate their particular histories, cultural =
traditions, and struggles to protect their environment, animal =
resources, and way of life.

  Other partners in this exhibit include: the North Peace School =
District #60, who guided the development of the exhibit=E2=80=99s =
Learning Resources for students and teachers; The Volkswagen Foundation, =
who funded the translation of Dane-zaa Z=C3=A1=C3=A1ge=CC=81=CA=94 =
(Beaver language) narratives into English; and, The Northeast Native =
Advancing Society (NENAS), who funded the training of Doig River youth =
in video documentation.


  The virtual exhibit can be found at: =
