More photos from the June 21 Aboriginal Days event when the SFU Museum gave the lithics collected by Len Donaldson to the Tse'K'wa

When the Tse'K'wa Interpretive Centre is built at Charlie Lake Cave, this plaque will be part of the exhibits.

Len Donaldson, who collected the lithics that now form the Tse’K’wa collection, was able to attend the Aboriginal Days event in Fort St John.

Due to major construction activities, the Museum is closed indefinitely. Please continue to follow us here on Facebook for updates on how the work is progressing.

The Tse’K’wa collection is back home in the Peace River. Barbara Winter drove the truck load of museum ready lithics to Fort St John in time for Aboriginal Day. Mayor Dale Bumstead of Dawson Creek is housing the collection in their new facility until the Tse’K’wa Interpretive Centre is ready.

On June 21 Barbara Winter completed the Tse'K'wa project, which began when Len Donaldson & Arthur Hadland contacted the MAE 4 years ago regarding over 1,000 lithics Len had found on his farm. Barb accepted the donation under the condition that the Museum could be returned to the First Nations of the Peace River region after it was organized by students in Arch 349, Archaeological Collections Management.

... thank you so much for having the vision to return this collection to us, what a blessing!! – Diane Abel
