Archaeological Monitoring of the Steam Plant Redevelopment

Quaternary Consultants Ltd.

Auger drilling of pile holes to support new additions yielded two Precontact artifacts that could not be assigned to any specific cultural occupation. They are faunal remains (bison) and could not be associated with either human hunting activity or natural deposition. Stratigraphy is discussed, and appendices include an artifact catalogue.

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
