Saskatchewan Polytechnic (SaskPoly) is partnering with Big River First Nation (BRFN), and Saskatchewan Archaeological Society (SAS), to conduct a three-year research study aimed at locating heritage resources and culturally significant areas using traditional knowledge and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems. Airplane-mounted LiDAR data will be used to conduct a first pass assessment of approximately 1844 ha of west-central Saskatchewan boreal forest. The analysis will be used to locate terrain features consistent with transportation corridors and human habitation. Remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) will be deployed to gain additional detail at locations where promising terrain features converge with insights gained through traditional knowledge inquiry. Ground surveys will then be conducted in collaboration with BRFN and SAS to validate likely heritage resource sites identified during the investigative process. We will work closely with Elders and Knowledge Keepers of the BRFN to plan and conduct these ground surveys with appropriate protocols for accessing and documenting cultural sites.The research team is looking to foster innovation and discovery of heritage resources on forested land currently allocated for timber harvesting and located within Treaty 6 territory. With the BRFN's guidance the research team will create a Community Advisory Council (CAC) composed of Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and community members to guide the work of the project. Any discoveries of heritage resources will be overseen by BRFN community members to ensure compliance with principles of ownership, control, access, and possession (OCAPr) of research-related results. Benefits accrued from this research are likely to include advances in the workflow and methods of LiDAR detection of heritage resources, expanded awareness of the cultural and historical footprint of the Woodland Cree in forested terrain, and the potential to proactively identify heritage sites in advance of forest harvesting or any other form of industrial development.Workshops will be held twice a year to highlight different steps of the research process as the study progresses. These workshops will take place within Big River First Nations facilities and on Saskatchewan Polytechnic campus in Prince Albert. Accessibility for all community members is important to us, and forms part of the principle of reciprocity through which we will share knowledge back with the community.

萨斯喀彻温省理工学院（Saskpoly）与Big River First Nation（BRFN）和萨斯喀彻温考古学会（SAS）合作，进行了一项为期三年的研究，旨在使用传统知识和光检测和范围检测和范围（LIDAR）系统来定位传统资源和具有文化意义的领域。飞机安装的LIDAR数据将用于对大约1844年西中西萨斯喀彻温省北方北方林进行的首次通过评估。该分析将用于定位与运输走廊和人类居住一致的地形特征。将部署远程试验的飞机系统（RPA），以在有希望的地形特征融合并通过传统知识查询获得的见解而获得更多细节。然后，将与BRFN和SAS合作进行地面调查，以验证调查过程中确定的可能的遗产资源地点。我们将与BRFN的长者和知识饲养者紧​​密合作，计划和进行这些地面调查，并提供适当的协议，以访问和记录文化地点。研究团队正在寻求在目前在目前分配的林地收获和位于条约6领土内的森林土地上培养创新和发现遗产资源。在BRFN的指导下，研究团队将建立一个由长者，知识饲养者和社区成员组成的社区咨询委员会（CAC），以指导项目的工作。 BRFN社区成员将监督任何遗产资源的发现，以确保符合与研究相关结果的所有权，控制，访问和拥有原则（OCAPR）。这项研究所产生的益处可能包括在雷达（LiDAR）检测遗产资源的工作流程和方法方面的进步，对森林地形伍德兰克里（Woodland Cree）的文化和历史足迹的认识不断提高，并且有可能在森林收获或任何其他形式的工业发展形式之前积极识别遗产的潜力。这些研讨会将在大河原住民设施和阿尔伯特亲王的萨斯喀彻温省理工学院校园举行。所有社区成员的可访问性对我们很重要，并且构成了互惠原则的一部分，我们将与社区分享知识。
