The People's Work: The Tsleil-Waututh Community Archaeology Project
|
|
Preservation of cultural resources.
The traditional territory of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation has been extensively impacted upon by urban development and natural resource extraction. Due to the severity of these impacts, Tsleil-Waututh community members have expressed a strong interest in identifying, protecting and interpreting all remaining cultural resource sites. Global Forest is supporting researchers from Simon Fraser University and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, British Columbia, along with an independent archaeological consultant, in funding an archaeological education and research component as part of a larger archaeological assessment and field school project. This support will aid in the organization of guided tours through selected sites, the preparation of a brochure describing the archaeological history of the area and the preparation of public displays on the material culture of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation and the processes involved in the archaeological dig. These activities will contribute to the distribution of knowledge of the Tsleil-Waututh culture to both community members and to the general public.
