Caption Source: Bill Addison because we ran out of tape & time (at 1 am) before Charlie could
describe it.
Photographer: Bill Addison. This is a photographic copy of the original document.
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 05: Document is self explanatory but it provides or infers other
useful information. This may be the only evidence for Jack Stanier's full name. That Charlie had
money to buy into this is amazing-in fact he may have borrowed the money. He arrived at Fort
Simpson in late 1932, penniless and with almost no clothes. He worked for the RCMP as cook
and he may have saved enough to buy into this in the 6-7 months that he had resided in Foti
Simpson. The money raised was likely used to fly Bill Clark and Jack Stanier into the Bennett or
Mcleod Creek area for more prospecting and claim staking.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Mar. 10: Their original cabin was built by Charlie Boostrom, Anna's stepfather and it was reaching the end of its useful life, hence the new cabin.

Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 28. We're whipsawing lumber here for the sluice boxes. I'm at the top and Harry must have taken the picture. I don't see him in underneath it. Anyway, that's a good-sized log. What we were trying to do was to make one board across the bottom, one board on each side. Three boards to a box. We had no nails or very few.

Photographer: Milton J. Campbell

WDA's Comments, 2013 Sep 11: The snow in this photo suggests March. The boards being whipsawed appear in the sluice boxes in photos 29-31. Harry Vandale probably took the photo on Milt's camera since he is not in the pit beneath Milt.

Part of Metis Nation of the Northwest Territories fonds

This item is the sixteenth part of a twenty-nine-part recording of a portion of a Metis Association Board meeting, held ca. September 1974 in Fort Resolution. The original source item is side B of a 40 minute audio cassette. The meeting also includes items CN-475A, CN-475B, CN-476A, CN-476B, CN-248A, CN-248B, CN-23A, CN-23B, CN-249A, CN-249B, CN-250A, CN-250B, CN-251A, CN-251B, CN-252A, CN-477A, CN-477B, CN-253A, CN-253B, CN-478A, CN-478B, CN-343A, CN-343B, CN-254A, CN-254B, CN-255A, CN-255B, and CN-256A. The recording continues with further discussion of the Winter Warmth program and the formulation of guidelines. Additional guidelines include having only the local housing committee chairman or coordinator phone in hours and submit timesheets and only paying for hours actually worked. The program criteria is read allowed and discussed with the conclusion that many applications already received and approved would actually be ineligible. It is agreed that it is too late to change approvals to enforce those criteria for this year as supplies had already been ordered and were on their way to communities. There are additional statements that the criteria have never been enforced and that the locals who should be enforcing them have never seen them. Some meeting participants are hard to hear, multiple conversations are occurring at once, and there is background noise. The recording ends abruptly.

This recording includes sides A and B of the tape.
