Published purpose
This project will investigate how early Holocene sea level rise and glacial retreat transformed the Taku River watershed and how Indigenous peoples adapted to these rapid environmental changes. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines paleoenvironmental reconstruction, archaeology, geomorphology, and T’akú Kwáan oral histories, it will reconstruct past landscapes and human responses. This research aims to support Indigenous knowledge, land stewardship, and cultural heritage protection while advancing understanding of long-term climate adaptation.
