This week we begin our GRATITUDE SEASON. It’s been a rough couple of years with COVID, and we wanted to celebrate our wonderful team and talk about subjects that matter to them.

From the moment Halifax was founded in 1749, enslaved African people were brought to dig out roads and begin building the city. An early Black community found refuge a few kilometres north on the southern shore of the Bedford Basin — an area that became Africville.

‘How do we ‘right the balance and balance the right?’ This quote by Justice Murray Sinclair has resonated for years. Even archaeologists who understand the imbalance in our practice – and the need for Indigenous communities to be involved in more meaningful ways – find change a challenge. The existing system ends up being replicated in communities,…

Today, we take a close look at who can versus who should practice archaeology and by what authority. The need for archaeology has widened but who can support that need has not.

Can archaeology relinquish its golden ticket? 42:45

Historically, archaeologists have been given the golden ticket to manage, own, access and control heritage that was never ours. To change archaeology for good, it’s crucial to recognize that: caring for something that belongs to others is a privilege and honour; room must be made for direction from descendant communities; the limitations and potent…
