Weaving Together Knowledges through Collaborative Archaeological Research in the Shúhtagot’ine Cultural Landscape
We describe collaborative archaeological research on caribou hunting sites in the homeland of the Shúhtagot'ine in the central Mackenzie Mountains of Canada's Northwest Territories. Shúhtagot'ine Elders and cultural resource managers are working together to investigate important cultu...
