From source, "Following an interesting exposé of some of the unanticipated difficulties encountered by a young anthropologist during his 1928-1929 survey of the Great Bear Lake region of the Northwest Territories for the National Museum of Canada, Osgood presents an invaluable discussion of 100 native place names, along with their translations and some pertinent comments. Each of the places discussed is carefully keyed to a map of the Great Bear Lake region."

“In the early 1970s the Dene leadership directed the Dene Nation to carry out a traditional land use and occupancy study to document the Dene interest in the Northwest Territories, as well as to provide a land use data base to be used in land claims negotiations and for similar applications. Approximately 600 trappers, comprising a 30% sample of all Dene/Metis trappers in the Mackenzie River valley recorded their land use on 150 large composite maps. These were accompanied by more detailed biographical information on dates and seasons of use, the species of animals that were taken, mode of transport, and other relevant details. In 1981, the Dene Mapping Project was formed to computerize these data to produce a traditional land use data base that is easily accessed and manipulated, utilizing the computing and other research facilities of the University of Alberta.” (Asch, Andrews and Smith 1986)

SRRB project (2013-201?) is working to fix the flaws in the dataset or reconstitute original dataset, create metadata.
