The routes of precontact inland trails are no longer known well due to the decimation of the local population in the 18th and 19th centuries. Industrial logging is threatening to destroy archaeological evidence of the inland trail network, and therefore this inquiry is timely. The largest and most topographically diverse island, Graham, has been the subject of many archaeological impact assessments that have documented hundreds of archaeological sites, most of them containing culturally modified trees.

  • When the Spirit of the Place Becomes a Symbol
    When the Spirit of the Place Becomes a Symbol MARÍA INÉS SUBERCASEAUX, Senior Conservation Architect 102 des marronniers, Gatineau, J9J 1T9 Tel: 819-997-4982 Fax: 819-953-7482 Email: [email protected] Abstract. Canada is home to a myriad of cultural expressions of spirit of the place. From Haida totems to northern Inuksuit, native forms can be appreciated for their meaning in time, in space, and in their relation to the land. Even when removed from their context, these forms continue to express that spirit. While used to inspire artists, these forms are observed in different ways by others. Can this ‘spirit’ be transferred from one culture to another? Is it universal? The author will discuss the dual ideas of permanent- temporary, self-identity, and how the intangible embodies the recognition by others, ultimately to create a sense of belonging. The presentation will conclude discussion of how these forms have become symbols of Canadian identity and part of its collective memory. The author will present examples from within Canada, and those abroad, ending with Québec and Ottawa to observe various ‘migrated forms’ in vernacular contexts. Spirit of place refers to the unique, distinctive and cherished aspects of a place; often those celebrated by artists and writers but also cherished in folk tales, festivals and celebrations. It is thus as much in the invisible weave of culture as it is the tangible physical aspects of place or its interpersonal aspects. (Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_of_place) From this, one of many possible definitions, we can deduce that there are three main ideas linked with the spirit of place: the intangible, the tangible and their relationship with a cultural group.
