Dr. Farid Rahemtulla
Department of Anthropology
For the past decade Dr. Rahemtulla has been teaching an archaeology field school every summer, in partnership with a number of First Nation communities. These regional field programs are delivered within the host FN traditional territory.
The field school is unique in that university students take courses side by side with members of First Nation communities, and all receive UNBC credits upon completion. This program is designed to encourage First Nation community members to continue their post secondary studies, as field school credits can be applied towards future degree and or diploma work. The field school has also been critical to our students to find employment as professional archaeologists.
