Abstract

As the government ultimately responsible for the Kwaday Dan Sinchi find, Champagne and Aishihik First Nations' (CAFN) work efforts related to the discovery have been driven by various goals. One has been finding out who this long ago person was. We introduce the variety of research approaches that are being pursued in an effort to link him culturally, and the initial results from these efforts. This includes studies on his belongings and other artifacts from the glacier area, and ethnohistory and oral history research. Community education and consultations are an equally important consideration for CAFN, in attempting to find modern meanings for the long ago person found.
