A brief interview with John B Zoe, a Tłı̨chǫ citizen from Behchokǫ̀, was a chief negotiator of the Tłı̨chǫ Agreement in 2005. The interview provides context about the signing of Treaty 11 and is helpful for hearing proper pronunciation of place names. The setting is an exhibit in Yellowknife's Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, tracing 100 years since the 1921 signing of Treat 11. Among the items shown in the interview and in the exhibit are Chief Monfwi's treaty jacket, a copy of the treaty, and the Tłı̨chǫ treaty medal The Treaty 11 – 100 Years exhibit, staged by the museum, the Tłı̨chǫ Government and Tłı̨chǫ citizens, traces the history and impacts of the treaty in the Tłı̨chǫ region, where it was signed by Chief Monfwi on August 22, 1921.
