New evidence of multicultural village discovered at Fort National Park Service and university archaeologists have discovered one of the homes of the multicultural village associated with Fort Vancouver. The village was home for 600 to 1000 Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) employees, their families, and visiting traders and travelers during the fur trade period. "The people living in the village, in contrast to the 'gentlemen' and their families inside the fort, left no written records," says Doug Wilson, National Park Service Archaeologist and Faculty Member of the Department of Anthropology at Portland State University. "This excavation is a way to recover the history of this incredible community, which included people of many ancestries: American Indians from many tribes, Native Hawaiians, French Canadians, Europeans, Americans, and those of multiethnic origin – the Métis." The Public Archaeology field school is a partnership of the Fort’s Northwest Cultural Resources Institute with Portland State University, Washington State University Vancouver and is supported by grants from the National Park Service and the Fort Vancouver National Trust. The field school will run one more week at the village site until Saturday, July 24. The village is west of the Fort Vancouver reconstruction north of the Vancouver Land Bridge. The public is welcome to visit Tuesday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Related to the field school, a new program at the Fort is bringing urban youth and families to the fort, to reconnect to the diverse histories of the Pacific Northwest through a series of day and overnight camps. The urban youth program will continue through September. Contact Kimm Fox-Middleton at 360-816-6243 for more information.
