The oral traditions of peoples in the Northwest Territories are being recorded to help perpetuate their rich heritage.

Nine groups and individuals were granted more than $70,000 through the Oral Traditions Program of the Education, Culture and Employment ministry.

"Celebrating our cultures and heritage is important in maintaining a healthy society," said Minister Richard Nerysoo. "The cultural projects made possible through this funding play a valuable role in preserving and communicating the diverse traditions of the North."
