ABSTRACT
This chapter draws the past memories of the author which involves television, movies, books, and museums. He remembers that one television shows, In Search Of The Mummy's Curse, hosted by Leonard Nimoy, and inspired my fascination for Egyptian archaeology. The lives of all Aboriginal peoples living in Canada have been directly impacted by a variety of federal policies. The central argument of his thesis was that while TUS projects claimed to involve 'consultation' with First Nations communities, they also bureaucratized the process and products of data gathering on Aboriginal land use and occupancy. His thesis proposes that cultural resource management (CRM) archaeology functions within a context of power imbalance among government, industry, and Aboriginal interests. Over the past eight years, he has also frequently delivered the Resource Inventory Standards Committee (RISC) 4 course to numerous First Nations communities in south-central British Columbia.
