We invite you to explore a fascinating collaborative, transdisciplinary research project led by the səl̓ilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). This project integrates archeology, ecology, historical and archival records, and səl̓ilwətaɬ traditional ecological and cultural knowledge to reconstruct the precontact diet of səl̓ilwətaɬ communities. By examining archeology and historical ecology, we can uncover the Coast Salish management of marine, tidal, and terrestrial environments.
Studying past subsistence practices offers a unique lens to understand the deep connections between people and their homelands, highlighting Indigenous food sovereignty before European contact. Join us in this journey to deepen our understanding of the relationships between people and place in the Salish Sea.
