Audio Archives
Learn by listening as you hear the Athabaskan language spoken by members of our community.
The digitized audio archive presented here is the result of recordings made by our Village founder, Doris Charles. These include items passed down to Doris Charles’s granddaughter and items originating from historical archive repositories at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and The American Philosophical Society.
In addition to the archival materials, we have recorded interviews with tribal members who speak fluent Athabaskan so our oral histories may preserved in our native language.
To keep our files secure and prevent them from being used by non-authorized entities, we have enabled measures to prevent them from being copied. If you would like to use any portion of these files, you must receive permission from the Dot Lake Village Council. Please send all requests in writing to council@dotlakevillage.org.
