The PWNHC is a member of the Alliance of Natural History Museum of Canada @alliancenaturalhistory, and we were one of the 11 museums to contribute a fossil to the exhibit Museum’s Choice: Fossil Favourites from Across Canada traveling exhibit. Our contribution was the Stromatolite. Visit the Royal BC Museum website to learn more or read about it in the Daily Hive.
Funding is available for artists or territorial organizations who are producing specific artistic works, projects or events in the Northwest Territories between April 2020 and March 2021.
The History of the NWT in 20 Objects – a new, flagship podcast series from Ollie Williams and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre – launches this Friday, November 9, at 12:15pm on Cabin Radio.
Immerse yourself in the history of the Northwest Territories and join Ollie as he tells the stories of unique items held in the museum’s collections, with help from museum staff, world-renowned experts, and the voices of people whose lives are intimately connected to objects that shaped the NWT.
Episode one explores the world of bush radio through the eyes and ears of a man who spent his life on the land – Fort Smith trapper and baseball fanatic Pi Kennedy.
