The Gwich’in Social and Cultural Institute(GSCI) was established as the cultural and heritage arm of the GTC in response to concerns about the decline of Gwich’in culture and language and the need to implement heritage resource issues identified in the land claim(Legislation and Policy). In the fall of 1993, the Institute began operation with the mandate to ’document, preserve and promote the practice of Gwich’in culture, language, traditional knowledge and values. ’The objective of the Institute is to conduct research in the areas of culture, language and traditional knowledge so that this body of knowledge will be recorded and available for future generations and the development of programs appropriate for Gwich’in needs. We believe that this is essential in building new awareness of, and pride in, Gwich’in culture.  1, record 2, English, - Gwich%27in%20Social%20and%20Cultural%20Institute

L’Institut culturel et social gwich’in a été créé en réaction aux inquiétudes concernant le déclin de la culture et de la langue gwich’in et en raison de la nécessité d’identifier les ressources du patrimoine précisées dans la revendication territoriale (Législation et politiques). En automne 1993, l’Institut a commencé ses activités, avec le mandat de documenter, de préserver et de promouvoir la pratique de la langue, les connaissances traditionnelles et les valeurs gwich’in. L’objectif de l’Institut est d’effectuer de la recherche dans les domaines de la culture, de la langue et des connaissances traditionnelles pour pouvoir élaborer des programmes appropriés, qui répondent aux besoins des Gwich’in. Nous croyons vraiment important de développer une sensibilisation accrue à la culture gwich’in et une fierté dans cette culture.  1, record 2, French, - Institut%20social%20et%20culturel%20gwich%27in
