Video: Mobile museum illuminates First Nations and pioneer history

Artifact collection gives a hands-on look at B.C.’s past

A touring presentation of artifacts from B.C.’s history gave Shuswap Middle School students a hands-on lesson in what life was like for B.C.’s First Nations and pioneer settlers.

The presentation was given by Tony Hardie who has traced his ancestry back to both the Secwepemc people and some of the earliest European settlers of the Shuswap area.

Artifacts in Hardie’s travelling collection include numerous arrowheads, traditional masks and furs similar to those trapped and traded in the area hundreds of years ago.
