The site includes biographies for each of the directors and allows users to search for films by the nation/people of the director or the nation/people depicted in the film.

Anthropology students dig deep in the pursuit of knowledge near Mount Currie

The home of the Lil'wat Nation for more than 5,500 years.https://blog.douglascollege.ca/2018/10/18/anthropology-students-dig-deep-in-the-pursuit-of-knowledge/

An interesting article that underlines the historic presence of First Peoples here in the Pemberton region. Compare this dig with the 5,500-year-old Berkshire site that is one of the earliest known examples of monument-building in Britain. The timeline is the same.(https://dailym.ai/2JICSSY)

"A group of Douglas College Anthropology students uncovered a love for archeology last summer through a unique field trip that provided valuable evidence to support the oral history of the Lil'wat Nation.

"Organized by Douglas Anthropology instructor and archeologist Bill Angelbeck, the hands-on project saw three Douglas students visit the site of an ancient village of the Lil'wat people in the Pemberton and Mount Currie region.

A traditional winter village, the site contains the remnants of at least 13 pithouses and numerous cache pits, which were smaller pits used for storing smoked and dried salmon. The pithouses were round homes built partially underground to reserve heat during the Winter. Because of this, they leave a prominent circular depression eight to 15 metres across that is noticeable to archeologists. The village is estimated to be approximately 2,000 years old, though samples from a base camp in the area indicate the territory was home to the Lil'wat Nation for much longer – more than 5,500 years....
