Acknowledgements
La Boîte Rouge Vif thanks all the members of the Aboriginal nations of Quebec who generously shared the accounts that inspired the writing of this text; they are too numerous to be listed here. These accounts are available online at www.voixvisagespaysages.com.
We highlight the important work of the authors of the text Multiple Voices, who were given the challenge of converging these numerous accounts into one text: Naomi Fontaine, Marie-Andrée Gill, Élisabeth Kaine, Jeanne-D’Arc Vollant and Christine Sioui Wawanoloath.
We also thank those who participated in this project’s collaborative workshop, offering a meaningful contribution for this site to represent an Aboriginal language teaching tool in which nations will recognize themselves:
- Gilles Routhier (acting Director General) and Yvette Mollen (Coordinator of the Tshiueten project) at the Centre d’amitié autochtone in Saguenay.
- Mélissa-Jane Gauthier (Information representative) at the Centre des Premières Nations Nikanite at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi.
- Sophie Kurtness, graphic designer (GraphiSK – Art et design; Mashteuiatsh community).
- Jimmy-Angel Bossum (Mashteuiatsh community), sociology student at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi and responsible for contact with the translators.
- Justine Bourdages, graphic designer for La Boîte Rouge vif.
This project was made possible in part by the Government of Canada.
