A Journey Through Time: Archaeology of Northwestern Ontario and the Lake Superior Area

The Thunder Bay Chapter of the Ontario Archaeological Society, in partnership with the Department of Anthropology at Lakehead University, the Thunder Bay Museum, and Woodland Heritage Northwest, proudly presents A Journey Through Time: Archaeology of Northwestern Ontario and the Lake Superior Area. This exhibit offers a rare and fascinating look into the lives of ancient peoples through a unique collection of irreplaceable belongings from the distant past. We recognize that these belongings represent the histories of many nations and are displayed here on the traditional lands of Fort William First Nation, a signatory to the Robinson-Superior Treaty of 1850, as well as the community of the Métis Nation of Ontario and the Red Sky Métis Independent Nation.
