Jesse Morin is a practicing archaeologist and adjunct professor at SFU Archaeology and UBC Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries. He works for Tsleil-Waututh Nation, Takla Nation, and K’ómoks First Nation and is a specialist on stone tools and the Coast Salish region. Jesse has worked for K’ómoks since 2014 on a variety of ethnohistoric and archaeological research projects and is currently helping KFN with repatriation and management of cultural heritage resources.

This is a presentation of the range of Indigenous land use and cultural affiliations with different locations across Pentlatch (the Comox Valley).

The goal of this presentation is to educate the public on the cultural importance of various places,  both those with and without tangible archaeological evidence of pre-contact use. Reviewing the past practices and beliefs about these places sheds light on the complexity of Pentlatch culture.
