The Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives invites you to attend a screening of the documentary film "SFU Tla'amin Field School - Summer 2008"on Monday, September 13th at 6:00 pm. Working on the beautiful British Columbia coast within the Tla'amin First Nation's traditional territory, SFU archaeologists and Tla'amin community members uncover some of the fascinating history of this people and this land. Learn more about community-bridging and partnership; collaborations between Archaeologists and First Nations; the effect of logging on archaeological sites in the region; clam gardens and other inter-tidal features; and traditional herring fishery and conservation. Meet the director of the film, Dr. Barbara Winter and one of the project directors, Dr. John Welch. Both will be in attendance and available for questions and discussion after the screening.

Barbara Winter is the director of the SFU Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology with research interests in museology, visual archaeology, video and new media, artifact conservation, ethnology and ethnoarchaeology, heritage legislation and issues in the curation of archaeological and ethnological collections.  Dr. Winter explores ways to enhance exhibits in the museum gallery with new media, and creates complex award winning websites and short videos on various topics in archaeology, ethnology and forensics.

John Welch is an anthropologist and social archaeologist with research and policy interests grounded in broad questions about how communities develop, employ, and sustain environmental and cultural conservation precepts and practices. In pursuit of indigenous heritage stewardship, Dr. Welch facilitates partnerships that formalize and advance community agendas to explore what archaeology can do-how archaeological sites, methods, perspectives, and data can enhance land and place histories, stewardship practices, Indigenous community capacities, wellness, education, and intercultural reconciliation

Admission is by donation and seats here at the museum are limited so be sure to arrive a few minutes early. We are located at 716 Winn Road, right across from the post office in Lower Gibsons.
