Archaeologists from UBC and members of the Scowlitz First Nation have been collaborating on archaeological research and heritage projects at the Qithyl site near Chilliwack since 1992. The projects involve excavating burial mounds and house features, bringing students to learn, and creating a virtual museum exhibit to share Scowlitz history and culture. Scowlitz community members guide the research and teach traditional practices like making red ochre paint. The collaboration aims to preserve Scowlitz heritage and pass knowledge to new generations.
