The Kwäday Dän Ts’ìnchi Project

Soon after the Kwäday Dän Ts’ìnchi discovery in 1999, an agreement was worked out between the BC Ministry of Small Business, Tourism and Culture and the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations regarding the management of the 'Long Ago Person Found'. The Royal BC Museum became an active member of the Kwäday Dän Ts’ìnchi Management Committee to oversee the preservation and research related to the human remains.

 

Scientists and members of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations have completed scientific and cultural research projects to learn more about this ancient hunter. They presented their findings to colleagues and the public at the Kwäday Dän Ts’ìnchi Symposium and Public Lecture, held April 25-27, 2008, in Victoria.
