Custodial history
Some material in this collection carries labels or stamps indicating original receipt by the McGill University Centre for Northern Studies and Research or cataloguing by the McGill Northern Studies Library; some material is from the McGill Humanities and Social Sciences Library holdings. The C. Douglas Ellis Cree materials were received by the McGill University Arts Multimedia Language Facility (AMLF) via transfer from Bronfman Audio Lab ca. 2003; the Cree and Inuktitut tapes were recorded by Liaison Librarian as received in April 2019 from AMLF.
Scope and content
The collection consists primarily of recordings on audio cassette of beginner-level language lessons in Ojibwa, Cree, and Inuktitut; authored variously by Basil Johnston, S.T. Mallon et al., C. Douglas Ellis et al., and Louis-Philippe Vaillancourt. The majority of the included material dates from the 1970s. The accompanying language learning texts for the Ojibwa and Inuktitut audiocassettes are included in the collection, along with duplicate recordings of 35 of the Cree audiocassettes on 25 compact discs. The collection also contains a recording of the 1995 CBC Calgary radio program "Voices of the First Nations : The Prairies."
