Hearing Hazelton History oral histories were collected over a period of 30 years, and collectively describe life the in the Hazeltons over a period of several decades. The project digitized audio tapes of personal interviews, narratives and life stories of various elders from the geographic area in a 50 kilometre radius around Hazelton, BC. This includes the Village of Hazelton, the municipality of New Hazelton, the unincorporated communities of South Hazelton and Two Mile, six Gitksan villages, the Wet’suwet’en village of Hagwilget, as well as the Kitwanga Valley, the Kispiox Valley, the Suskwa Valley, and the Upper Skeena Valley. The project was managed by the Hazelton Area Historical Association; audio tapes were digitized with a BC History Digitization Program grant from the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
