S4: Archaeology from Stream to Sea with Nicole Smith (youth, adults)
Location: Forbes Hall
Come test your archaeological eye in this presentation by archaeologist and newly published author, Nicole Smith. Can you identify the many ways in which Indigenous peoples have shaped, managed and cared for local coastlines over thousands of years? From fish traps to clam gardens, hear how Western and First Nations scientists are learning from these places, and how archaeology may be useful in today’s changing world. Nicole will also read from her new book for young readers, Dig Deep: Connecting Archaeology, Oceans and Us.
We will also be at the Howling Wolf Market between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm on Saturday. In addition to our regular items, we will be selling books by this week's S4 guest speaker, Nicole Smith! Look for the blue tent!
