General note
This audio reel recording contains the term Eskimo. “Eskimo” is an outdated and pejorative term used historically to refer to Indigenous peoples who inhabit the Arctic. In Canada these peoples are known as the Inuit. The use of the term in the Scope and content note has been maintained in keeping with Special Collections & Archives’ approach to language in archival descriptions, which prioritizes speaking openly about and clearly identifying problematic, harmful, and otherwise offensive records in the department’s holdings. This approach, while potentially upsetting, allows for the critical assessment and questioning of historical material by contemporary researchers.
General note
The dates listed in the handwritten note on the original audio reel box differ from the dates cited in the audio recording. Subsequently, it is possible that the subjects listed in the note are incorrect.
