The Doig River First Nation in British Columbia, Canada, created a website as a collaborative project involving, elders, youth, community leaders, ethnographers, linguists, and web-designers. Their website has extensive audio and video materials, as well as interviews and elders stories in the Dane-Zaa language, all transcribed and translated. They describe the documentation process:

"Over a one month period in the summer of 2005 our elders brought the documentary team to eight places in our territory. At these places we shared oral histories about the stories, songs, people and experiences that connect us to the land."

The project was supported by the Doig River First Nation, The North East Native Advancing Society (funding youth training), The North Peace School District #60, First Nations Education Program, and Volkswagen Foundation: Documentation of Endangered Languages Funding Initiative.

The project is driven by local elders and priorities. Charles Darwin University and the Northern Territory Library are the lead institutions.
