Land claims researcher to speak at UNBC 

UNBC is hosting a discussion with a land claims researcher from Lower Nicola, B.C. this week. 

Angie Bain, a Nlaka’pamux researcher, will be at UNBC on Tuesday, Oct. 1 to discuss her work as a Volume Editor and member of the Indigenous Advisory on the Frank Boas Paper Project. It’s a project in collaboration with the University of Western Ontario, the American Philosophy Society, and Nebraska Press.

“Angie Bain’s presentation on her extensive archival research experiences will bring the audience along on a fascinating journey of knowledge repatriations from archives across North America, to cultural revitalization within her Nlaka’pamux community in the Lower Nicola Valley,” says Erica Hernandez-Read, the Interim Head, Archives and Special Collections, at the Northern BC Archives.

Bain’s community in the Nicola Valley has been working to set up a repatriation committee and visited the Royal BC Museum and the Peabody Museum at Harvard.

Bain will speak about the intersection of her work in all these realms, and how the work of ethnologist James Teit and her involvement in the Boas Papers Project has led her and her colleagues on a research journey.

 The talk at 3:30 p.m. in the Weldwood Theatre is free and open to the public. The Northern BC Archives is organizing the presentation as part of the Archival Connections Speakers Series.
