At the end of last week, the Heritage Park Museum opened a new exhibit that will be around for most of the summer known as the Kitselas Cultural Education Centre exhibit at their Dance Hall.
This exhibit is a project that has seen over a year of work put into it by the Kitselas Lands and Resources Department and features many different methods for people to learn about what the Resource Stewardship part of the department does and what animals and tools they typically work with.
The exhibit even has items like whale bones and a virtual reality headset showing what department members do while working on the river.
A theory was also given by Fish and Wildlife Officer Waddy Robinson as to why this project was initially put together as well;
“I’m guessing that it was thought of to give more information to community members and the people living within the Kitselas territory about what we do and the importance of the harvest of Oolichan. And the habitat of the Salmon that rely on all the creeks and the whole ecosystem within the City of Terrace and the surrounding area.”
More information about the Lands and Resources Department is available on the Kitselas First Nation’s website.
