The Saskatchewan Archaeological Society acts as an independent, non-profit, volunteer organization which carries out activities and programs to engage the interest and enlist the involvement of all citizens in the identification, protection, and preservation of heritage resources. We operate in an accountable, democratic, and professional manner. Our objectives are to: promote and improve heritage resource reporting and recording; increase the involvement of underrepresented groups such as First Nations, Métis and youth, in our mandate; and to increase our involvement in schools. We achieve this primarily through education. We are engaged in approximately 30 programs and services such as field schools, school education projects, publications, production of artifact-based teaching kits, audio-visual materials, and tours. We partner with other groups on conservation projects or archaeological displays, and prepare and circulate displays, demonstrations, and workshops connected with heritage.
About the Job
The SAS is seeking a post-secondary graduate to assist us with updating and revising our educational resources so they not only to better meet the needs of today's society, but as an act of Reconciliation. Because our resources contain the cultural heritage of First Nations people, it is essential that they reflect and represent First Nation experiences and perspectives in a meaningful and respectful way. The Educational Resources Intern will work closely with the Executive Director and our partners to update existing and create new artifact-based teaching kits. A comprehensive guidebook will integrate both archaeological and First Nations interpretations of the artifacts.
