Description

Between 1981 and 1986, Ethos Consultants undertook a major historic resources assessment and mitigation project for Alberta Environment, within an approximately 10 km long portion of Forty Mile Coulee which was selected for development as an irrigation storage reservoir. Analysis of the data indicates that the majority of sites examined date to the last 2,000 years and in particular to the last 400 to 500 years. Evidence is presented which suggests the majority of these sites reflect occupation by groups associated to one or more of the historic tribes comprising the Blackfoot Confederacy.
