Ancestral Connections on Epekwitk Through Archaeology – With Dr. Helen Kristmanson

In this episode, Sean speaks in depth with L’nuey Senior Archaeologist Dr. Helen Kristmanson to learn about exciting work underway on Epekwitk (PEI), building the Epekwitnewaq Mi’kmaq’s capacity, archaeology dating back 13,000 years, and history of some significant sites – including Pituamkek (Hog Island and Sandhills), which is set to become a National Park Reserve. 

Tune in to hear how archaeology ties in to the broader scope of Mi’kmaw rights, and ultimately, the Epekwitnewaq Mi’kmaq reclaiming part of their history and culture.
