Grant Overview
Northwest Territories faces unique challenges in preserving Indigenous traditional knowledge related to food systems and sustainable practices. With a vast geographic area and sparse population density of 0.04 people per square kilometer, the territory's infrastructure constraints hinder the documentation and sharing of cultural heritage. The current lack of digital platforms to bridge generational gaps results in the loss of valuable knowledge. Who Should Apply in Northwest Territories? Eligible applicants include registered charities, non-profit organizations, and Indigenous governments/communities. The application requires demonstration of capacity to develop digital tools that cater to the territory's linguistic diversity, including languages such as Inuvialuktun and Gwich'in. Northwest Territories' Digital Preservation Landscape highlights the need for tailored solutions that address the territory's specific cultural and geographic context. Unlike neighboring Nunavut, Northwest Territories' applications must demonstrate a clear understanding of the territory's unique Indigenous languages and cultural practices. The funding supports projects that develop digital platforms to document and share traditional knowledge, enhancing food security and promoting sustainable practices. With a focus on capacity building, the initiative aims to strengthen the territory's infrastructure and workforce, ultimately preserving cultural heritage for future generations. The Northwest Territories' rural and remote communities will benefit from this initiative, with a particular emphasis on the 11 official languages recognized by the territory. The program's success will be measured by the number of digital platforms developed and the extent of their adoption among Indigenous communities.
