White Spruce Archaeology has been pleased to participate in an initiative sponsored by L.P. Canada, the First Nations Forestry Program and the Manitoba Heritage Grants Program. The project takes place in the Duck Mountains region of Manitoba and includes participants from the Tootinaowaziibeeng (Valley River) First Nation. The Tootinaowaziibeeng First Nation is interested in taking an active part in managing and planning for the protection of the heritage resources that are in their traditional land use area. The project is designed to increase our understanding of the archaeological materials in this area and to develop participation in heritage resource management by actively involving First Nations youth in archaeological work. The project not only provides employment, but was an opportunity for the First Nations youth to explore their own heritage and, for some, it may provide encouragement for future involvement in heritage management.
