February 20, 2014 - The Human Footprint in the Pacific Northwest: From the Deep Past to the Present.
Presented by Dr. Rolf Mathewes, Simon Fraser University
Deep Time, Global Change and YOU lecture series

Environmental changes in the past and present have always played an important role in human affairs & cultural development.
Dr. Mathewes will explore links between past environments and the "peopling" of the new world along the coast of western North America near the end of the last ice age.

He will look into the evidence of how environmental changes during postglacial time have affected first nations cultural development and how it has been affected by early human activities.
