The Humanities Innovation Lab was founded by Dan O'Donnell in 2019 and has been housing active projects since then. In 2021, as part of a series of grants, awarded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Canterbury Tales Project relocated to the lab.
In this talk, Inge Genee discusses some of the practical and ethical dilemmas that were encountered when working with Blackfoot language materials left by Donald G. Frantz after he passed away, and how to address them. She advocates creating a data will to reduce the burden on successors and ensure that a lifetime’s research is preserved.

Our University’s Blackfoot name is Iniskim, meaning Sacred Buffalo Stone. The University of Lethbridge acknowledges and deeply appreciates the Siksikaitsitapii peoples’ connection to their traditional territory. We, as people living and benefiting from Blackfoot Confederacy traditional territory, honour the traditions of people who have cared for this land since time immemorial. We recognize the diverse population of Aboriginal peoples who attend the University of Lethbridge and the contributions these Aboriginal peoples have made in shaping and strengthening the University community in the past, present, and in the future.
