A Nunavik archaeology event will be recorded by TNI radio Wednesday October 3rd 2007. This radio show will be about the Avataq’s public service announcement that was aired all summer in Nunavik.
In March 2006, Avataq learned that the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) awarded to the Department of Archaeology a CURA research grant (Community-University Research Alliance).
A team of about twenty people participated in the excavation of an archaeological site on Drayton Island (IbGk-3), and also carried out a brief archaeological survey of the area.
After consultation with Avataq’s Board, we announce that the next Elder’s Conference will take place at Kangiqsujuaq between September 24 and 28.
