Keith Carlson's status on the SSHRC standard grant titled “Aboriginal Collective Identity Across Time, Space and Academic Disciplines: Exploring Interaction Among the Stó:lõ of South Western British Columbia,” has been upgraded from "collaborator" to "co-principal investigator". While the majority of the funds in this multidisciplinary multi campus project will remain earmarked for archaeological investigations centered out of UBC, SFU and UCLA, the University of Saskatchewan will now have budgetary control for the historical research component of this innovative three year study.
