Multimedia

This Understanding Traditional Use Studies Website is a multimedia resource with a range of content including text, images, audio and video. This capacity makes it a truly archival resource that addresses the needs of both formal and life-long learners. The Heritage Community Foundation is pleased to make these resources accessible. This section provides a range of resources that shed light on TUS in Alberta and also the range of products contained in Studies. Some are drawn from TUS undertaken as a part of the Alberta Aboriginal Relations (formerly Alberta Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development) cross-ministry initiative begun in 2000.
