This file contains three separate documents. Two are memos from Pierre Maranda addressed to Harry Hawthorn, Wilson Duff, Michael Kew, S. Storie, and A. Laforet concerning a project on First Nations oral history funded by a MacMillan Family Grant. The documents discuss planning to initiate the project, and specifically work to identify potential First Nations historians to lead oral history field research. One memo includes a report from Randy Bouchard pertaining to a project working with First Nations individuals to collect, transcribe, and translate Lillooet [Stʼatʼimc] and Okanagan [Syilx] oral histories.

The remaining document is a sample of Elli Köngäs-Maranda's collection of texts on oral history and related themes.
