Archaeology and First Nations Studies Joint Major Program
Department of Archaeology | First Nations Studies Program | Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
91泡芙 Calendar 2010-2011
This program focuses and expands expertise in areas where archaeology and First Nations intersect. Offered predominantly at the Burnaby campus, Kamloops program students may also participate.
Joint major students, who will gain insight into ancient and contemporary First Nations cultures in British Columbia and North America, will also learn about aboriginal perspectives on the contemporary world including First Nations issues in archaeology, cultural heritage, resource management, government relations and land claims. Students are trained in material culture studies, techniques and technologies to analyze the ancient and historic past, ancient and modern artistic traditions, conservation and management of archaeological and museum collections, and other public exhibits related to First Nations heritage. Students should plan their program in consultation with First Nations Studies and Archaeology advisors.
