Knowledge is Power

Gratitude Season continues! Today, our archaeologist, Tannis Wilson, talks about the importance of preserving organic materials and wet site finds, as well as building this capacity in Indigenous communities. She does this through the lens of caring for and preserving 2000+ year old fishing weirs. Archaeologists are at a bit of a trust deficit when it comes to communities, because of the terrible history. Sharing knowledge to inspire future generations, and always honouring the cultural significance and value placed on finds by each Nation, can do a lot to earn that trust back. Watch Since Time Immemorial , the short film Jenny and Tannis discussed in this episode.
