For over thirty-five years my work has involved academic research and/or university teaching in anthropology and indigenous studies. I first started teaching for AU in 1983. My research contracts are primarily in aboriginal land claims. Clients include aboriginal organizations and federal and provincial government departments. My personal research interests are in ethnohistory and traditional environmental knowledge. Treaty Eight is a major area of concentration.
