• SSHRC IDG awarded 2021: Our proposed project, therefore, uses community-driven archaeological remote sensing to address important community needs, while exploring the research implications of relocating graves in historic cemeteries by combining archaeology, remote sensing, historical research, and community oral histories. We propose to undertake five surveys of historic cemeteries or burial locations in partnership with First Nations and Métis communities in Alberta and Saskatchewan over the course of two years.
