Decade-long partnership working alongside Kwantlen First Nation.  Partnership activities have included experiential learning with Anthropology and NGO and Nonprofit Studies students, including first-person interviews, significant archival research, the use of photography and GIS to create a Virtual Reality app, research on cultural tourism, and support for the museum exhibit, We Are Kwantlen, Langley Centennial Museum.

Most recent engagement: Meeting at KPU on February 21, 2019 with members of Kwantlen First Nation, a representative of the Township of Langley, several faculty members, and NGO and Nonprofit students to discuss forthcoming museum in Fort Langley and work with Kwantlen First Nation’s repository.  This expanded the pre-existing partnership with Kwantlen First Nation, bringing in new faculty members from History, Fine Arts, Marketing, Interior Design and Sociology.

NGO and Nonprofit Studies and Anthropology students are currently volunteering at the Kwantlen First Nation repository, sorting over 10,000+ archaeological artifacts, and two students are involved in interviews.
