Protecting and Honouring Archaeological
Heritage in the Salish Sea 
In the Salish Sea, a range of development pressures threaten the
deep connections to place and the ecosystems that sustain them.
 
In this free webinar, our five panelists will guide discussions about
the potential for on-the-ground actions and higher level policy
initiatives that lead to the protection of valued ecosystems and at
the same time honour Indigenous connections to the land.
