Collaborative Archaeology in Northeastern Ontario

Sharing knowledge about archaeology in northeastern Ontario

Indigenous peoples who have lived on the land we now know as Ontario since time immemorial left traces that we recognize as archaeological sites and ancestor’s belongings that are commonly called artifacts. The majority of the sites in Ontario are Indigenous, yet there are very few practicing Indigenous archaeologists. This puts communities at a disadvantage when they are asked to consult about developments that may impact heritage sites in their traditional territories.
