Scope & content
The records date from 1960-1989 and were generated by students that lived at Akaitcho Hall and attended Sir John Franklin Territorial High School. The textual records consist of Akaitcho Hall newsletters, a policy manual and guidelines for the students entering the residence, a school newspaper, a 1981 yearbook, and a program of study from Sir John Franklin High School. The photographs depict daily life, classes and activities that took place at Akaitcho Hall and Sir John Franklin High School. In addition, there are some oversize photographs of the NWT Council and Commissioners of the NWT. There is also one drawing of Akaitcho Hall. There are 12 videocassettes that contain interviews with students about their life at Akaitcho Hall and footage of daily life at the residence and at Sir John Franklin High School. The students interviewed comment about the living conditions, activities and high school experiences. In addition, there is one tape entitled "A Whole Language: A Northern Experience" that is a Yellowknife Films Production. This tape was produced for the Department of Education to promote a writing program that was used in the communities to enhance the language skills and give students a creative voice.
