On the larger scale, and most things of a larger scale seem to be located in Yellowknife, and operated out of Yellowknife, and I am talking about the museum. I am aware, through some dealings with them, that they are always short, and this goes anywhere we have documents and artifacts or anything related to heritage and museums. They are always having a problem with storage and maintaining the goods, or the artifacts that we have.
Because of the heritage centre being here, a lot of the artifacts from across the north seem to congregate or descend here. My point is that we have some smaller community projects, you mentioned three of the larger ones, Norman Wells, Fort Smith and Iqaluit, but I am sure you have been getting requests from other communities and other groups. I know that working with a specific land claim, there are provisions in that claim for development of some very specific issues or points, that deal with this issue.
Every activity here has been reduced, and this one too, but there is more demand, and more need, but obviously, the priority is not here, because we keep getting cut. There is a need to preserve these things but I am just making a point, how long do we go on? I know the basement is full, warehouses are full, and there are problems with the weather and those types of things. You need air conditioning or controlled temperature rooms for a lot of our prints, and a lot of the skin type things, and all of that costs money.
Through development of smaller community, or regional museums, some of these problems of concentrating everything in one centre will be removed. We have got to put some effort and some resources and maybe some new thinking into how we do this. I just wanted to make that point.
