#9 April 27 1979 Pres & Chiefs Inuvik Tape Runs To Unit 10 Only
N-2001-016: CN-274A · Object · April 1979
Part of Metis Nation of the Northwest Territories fonds

This item is the seventeenth part of a seventeen-part recording of a joint Metis Association-Dene Nation meeting, held April 24-27, 1979 in Inuvik. This recording was made on April 27. The meeting is in English and Indigenous languages. The original source item is side A of a 60 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes items CN-267A, CN-267B, CN-268A, CN-268B, CN-269A, CN-269B, CN-270A, CN-270B, CN-271A, CN-271B, CN-272A, CN-272B, CN-273A, CN-273B, CN-479A, and CN-479B. The recording continues with discussion of the COPE land claim. An elderly chief states that the COPE claim is taking away land belonging to the Dene and that a motion should be drafted; if that doesn’t work, then legal action should be taken. Additional opinions are expressed about creating a joint release statement or joint position paper. There is translation throughout in an Indigenous language. The recording concludes with a period of people chatting quietly.

9. H Vandale learning to canoe on Nelson R just above forks, 1934, M.Campbell photo
N-2022-003: 0266 · Object · May, 1934
Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 9. This is Harry out in a canoe with a little bit of a breeze and he can't get back to the main boat. It blew him all over the river. And he didn't know how to handle this canoe and they ride high. Eighteen foot Peterborough. Built for a kicker. It had a square stern. The bow got up in the air and Harry couldn't control the thing. So someone hollered get up mid-ship. Well he wasn't much better there. He was spinning in a circle so he worked right up into the bow as you can see and then he managed to get back. This was taken on the lower Nelson, getting close to the forks.

Photographer: Milton J. Campbell

WDA's Comments, 2013 Sep 09: The river is in flood so Harry had a battle on his hands.
9 Mackenzie Air Service, Bellanca Aircruiser, CF-BKV, on Mackenzie R, Fort Simpson, 1930s
N-2022-003: 0783 · Object · [after 27 Sep. 1938]
Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Caption Source: Bill Addison because we ran out of tape & time (at 1 am) before Charlie could
describe it.
Photographer: unknown but likely Charlie Hansen judging from sharpness falloff towards the
corners as seen in Charlie' known photos.
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 03: The Aircruiser is now on floats. Carl Falcon flew from
Cooking Lake to Foti Simpson in it on a scheduled run. The plane was then diverted from the
sched to fly one load of supplies from Fort Simpson to Seaplane (Landing) Lake in 1941 for Carl
Falcon's effort to mine gold below a little falls in a canyon on Bennett Creek. The plane
presumably returned to the sched run on down to Aklavik after the Seaplane Lake trip.
Interrupting a sched run was a normal procedure at this time. Competition between bush plane
services was fierce and they did things like this to garner some extra income. This aircraft
appears in other Nahanni photos.
CF-BKV was not registered until Sep. 27, 1938 (Ellis, J. R., Canadian Civil Aircraft Register) so
this photo post-dates that.
#9, flume support beams, work tent & pump, falls below, Bennett Cr canyon, 1941, Carl Falcon photo
N-2022-003: 0682 · Object · 1941
Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Caption on back of photo: "1941. 9. Looking down on the framework or log base of the flume. Logs backpacked for 300 yards or more. They are held together by carriage bolts and lag screws. Bill Clark."

Caption Source: Bill Clark

Photographer: Carl Falcon

WDA's Comments, 2013 Jul 10: The framework for the flume is nearing completion. Note how the heavy frame logs are wedged into the canyon walls allowing the flume to support the massive weight of Bennett creek's water.

on the tractor. (See Photo 91 for more information.)
Caption Source: Charlie Hansen interview.
Photographer: likely Isidore Villeneuve but with a new sharper camera.
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 10: Charlie is operating his new Cat D4.
90. Sunken HBC barge, Green Island Rapids, 19 km SE Fort Simpson, 1940s, photo from M. Campbell
N-2022-003: 0344 · Object · [1938 or 1939]
Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 90. Is the Hudson Bay barge. that hit a rock in Green Island Rapids about twelve miles or fifteen miles above Simpson. It sank right down to where you see she's sitting on the bottom there. Quite a loss really. Not only the money loss but when you sunk a thing like that… There were not that many boats down river per season, so it's quite a loss to the people down there. Not only the money loss but personal belongings that they had ordered in and then the food supplies. This was a great loss. I believe I was in Yellowknife at the time. It must have been around '38, '39. Somewhere in along there.

91. An early type of snow machine, Fort Resolution, 1940s, photo from M Campbell
N-2022-003: 0345 · Object · [194-]
Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 91. It's just hard to describe this thing. It's at Fort Resolution and it actually worked. It had two great drums, corrugated drums, that turned like this and the motor sat on platform above these drums. And as you can see he's hauling this sled there behind. And it pulled itself along and who invented it or who built it I have no idea but I've never seen anything like it since. One of the first snowmachines.

92 beached US Army tugs & fuel drums, The Flats, Fort Simpson, early 1943
N-2022-003: 0866 · Object · 1943
Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Charlie's photo description: That's up on the Flats again and that's part of pulling out the ... I
don't know which boats are there. I think it's part of the same Atmy boats, isn't it? See all the gas
barrels there they pulled up. Of course, it could have been another year. There used to be a creek
there and once the water got so high the ice plugged it, so the water went down in the Snye. Then
it plugged down there too and it came across the island and came out here. See the end of a boat
there on the right? That was an old whaler laying there, a whaling boat they called it. Fishing
boat. It was never in use that I knew. It was just lying there.
Caption Source: Charlie Hansen interview.
Photographer: likely Charlie Hansen or Isidore Villeneuve.

Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 92. Glen Cinnamon. Now he's going to take this little Cat on this rickety old boat at Yellowknife.

Photographer: Milton J. Campbell

WDA's Comments, 2013 Sep 13: Safety regulations? What safety regulations? In many ways this photo epitomizes the can-do, move-ahead-regardless-of-the-obstacles spirit that opened the north. These people used and adapted whatever was available.
