About
More than a Fort: Métis Archaeology at pehonanik (Fort Carlton FfNp-1)
Join Sarah Pocha-Tait (MA Candidate, Department of Anthropology, University of Saskatchewan) as she shares her exploration into the roles of Métis women at pehonanik and how their presence can be seen in the artefact assemblage.
Fort Carlton was a fur trade post which operated from 1810-1885. Its original location at the forks of the two Saskatchewan Rivers opened in 1795, but in 1810 it moved further
southwest to a prime location along the North Saskatchewan River. This area holds the Cree name pehonanik meaning “the waiting place”.
From 2021-2023 the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society excavated 48 units and recovered over 10,000 belongings in the area to the west of the reconstructed Fort Carlton.
This is a free Culture Days Program hosted by the Prince Albert Historical Society and the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society.
Coffee/tea & cookies will be served.
