Stories of the Old Ones: Hunter and Fisher from Sheltered Water
Four thousand years ago in southeastern Manitoba, a young man we call the Hunter and Fisher from Sheltered Water was laid to rest by his relatives along the shores of the Lee River. The discovery of his remains and personal belongings led to the development of a collaborative research project between Sagkeeng Anicinabe Government and the Manitoba Museum.
This book chronicles the project from the recovery, study, and reburial of this Ancestor. The book weaves together Indigenous Knowledge from the late Elder Mark Thompson and other community members, along with archaeological research, natural history, ethnographic collections, contemporary Indigenous art, and stunning photography.
Panel Discussion at 7 pm in the Auditorium.
Book Signing and Reception at 8 pm in the Foyer.
Tea, coffee, and bannock will be served.
Doors will open at 6:30 pm. Children welcome. This event is free of charge. No RSVP required.
The Manitoba Museum is located on Treaty 1 land, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. These lands, occupied for thousands of years, are the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, and Nakota Nations. The Museum is committed to collaborating with all Indigenous peoples of this province including the Dakota, Anishininiwak, Dene, and Inuit.
We acknowledge the harms of the past, are committed to improving relationships in the spirit of reconciliation, and appreciate the opportunity to live and learn on these traditional lands in mutual respect.
Manitoba Museum is accredited by Imagine Canada for excellence in non-profit accountability, transparency and governance.
