Lecture by:
Cody Groat
Cody’s presentation will look at the designation of national historic sites of Canada, specifically sites that relate to Indigenous history. This presentation will discuss well-known Ontario sites such as the Peterborough Petroglyphs and Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons, and lesser-known sites such as the Sheguiandah paleo-indian archaeological site, occupied nearly 10,000 years ago.
