Part of Metis Nation of the Northwest Territories fonds

Census and questionnaire records include completed forms for the 1977-79 and 1993 censuses and the ca. 1980 questionnaire, compiled results for the 1977-79 census and ca. 1980 questionnaire, enumerators’ logs from the 1993 census, and a project guide, registration forms, application control lists, tracking forms, and correspondence for the 1977-79 census.

The records fit within the central filing system under classification 200.7, however, many of the census and questionnaire records had already been gathered into records sets. Additional related records and membership records were added by the Archivist, particularly from the boxes of miscellaneous files, and some forms moved to centralize forms from the same location. The Archivist also centralized into one file the compiled totals of the questionnaire results.

Some of the records have been damaged by mould. Appropriate care should be taken when accessing these records.

Locals
354-S02 · Series · 1972-2000
Part of Metis Nation of the Northwest Territories fonds

This series consists of records relating to the Locals of the Metis Association and Metis Nation in communities across what was at the time the western Northwest Territories, including Fort Smith (#50), Hay River (#51), Fort Simpson (#52), Fort Resolution (#53), Fort Good Hope (#54), Yellowknife (#55, #66, #77), Aklavik (#56), Fort Providence (#57), Fort McPherson (#58), Norman Wells (#59), Fort Norman/Tulita (#60), Inuvik (#62), Arctic Red River/Tsiigehtchic (#63), Rae/Edzo/Behchoko (#64), Pine Point (#65), Fort Liard (#67), and Fort Franklin/Deline (#75). Records, primarily minutes and correspondence, of other Metis-related organizations, including the South Slave Regional Council, South Slave Metis Tribal Council, North Slave Metis Alliance, and Hay River Metis Government Council are also included in this series.

The records include incoming and outgoing correspondence, meeting minutes submitted by the Locals, Constitutions and Bylaws of the Locals, budgets, financial records, affiliation applications and certificates, membership lists, activity reports, press releases, land use applications, Local Handbook, and information packages.The records also occasionally include meeting minutes of other community organizations.

The records would likely have originally been maintained as part of the central filing system under classification 210. However, the majority of the records had been gathered into a Locals series by the time they were processed by the Archivist. The Locals records still in the main filing system (1990-91, 1998-99, 1999-2000) were moved to the Locals series by the Archivist. The entire Locals series was arranged in essentially chronological order, while maintaining the sets of records originally apparent. Original order within the each file has mostly been maintained, although a change in the appraisal metric mid-way through processing meant that some records had to be reinserted, disrupting the original order. The files were also heavily weeded to remove duplicates.
