Local Indigenous archives and language revitalization underway at KFPL
An initiative to create and digitize an archive of local Indigenous history is in full steam at the Kingston Frontenac Public Library.
Danycka Pereault, an Indigenous woman from the Kingston area has recently joined the team responsible for the work thanks to a grant from Young Canada Works and going towards the StoryMe project.
She joins Programming and Outreach Librarian Jake Miller and Librarian of Local History and Genealogy Joanne Stanbridge at KFPL until December, and in her first few weeks of work has jumped in headfirst.
Pereault says, to little surprise, that Indigenous history in the area is not well documented.

We didn’t go back far in our archives this week, in fact just a few weeks ago.
Owen Fullerton from Kingston band Willy Nilly joined us to talk about their debut EP during an
Indie Song of the Day interview.
Here’s the full conversation with Owen that goes into depth more about the band and how he jumped from broadcasting in Yellowknife to becoming a musician.

The band consists of Owen Fullerton (Rhythm Guitar/Lead Vocals), Max Tinline (Vocals/Lead Guitar/Banjo), new member Josiah Ascough (Bass), and Devin Pierce (drums), plus their honourary fifth member Reilly. The group just released this song off their debut EP last month.
