On Monday, January 13th, I met with Rosie Sylliboy and Bryan “Fish” Googoo in We’Koqma’q, Cape Breton, to discuss “Project Naming,” a Library and Archives Canada (LAC) initiative that began in 2002. The project posts photos of nameless First Nations, Inuit, and Métis individuals on social media pages and asks communities to help identify the person or people in the picture.
