Geneviève Treyvaud
Holder of a diploma in goldsmithing (HEAD-Geneva), a bachelor’s degree in anthropology (UdM), a master’s degree (UdM) and a doctorate in Archeology (ULaval/INRS ETE). I am a senior archaeologist at Ndakina Office of the Grand Conseil de la Nation Waban-Aki, associate professor at the Centre Terre Eau Environnement of the National Institute for Scientific Research (INRS-ETE). My work focuses on the pre-colonial and contact periods, and on the impact of European colonization on traditional technologies and ancestral territories of First Nations in the Northheast of Canada. At the Ndakina Office, my mandate is to develop archaeological research projects to better understand the ancestral occupation of the territory. In collaboration with the Ndakina office team, I see to the protection of the archaeological heritage in territorial consultations. I also work to document W8banakiak natural resource exploitation methods and production techniques of ancient tools.
