Queen Charlotte councillors have agreed to support a Council of the Haida Nation proposal to use ground-penetrating radar to find unmarked graves in Skidegate and Queen Charlotte.Haida Heritage Guardian Elizabeth Bulbrook wrote to Queen Charlotte council to request a letter of support for the application that she is submitting to Gwaii Trust Legacy fund.She said the ground penetrating radar unit will be rolled over the ground and can detect burials beneath without disturbing the surface. The equipment belongs to the University of British Columbia and Ms Bulbrook has enlisted the help of Andrew Martindale, a professor of archaeology there, to help with the project. Dr. Martindale has offered to help in the field and interpret the data.She intends to focus her project on the Skidegate and Queen Charlotte cemeteries.Councillor Greg Martin commented at the Feb. 16 council meeting that Ms Bulbrook has done an excellent job of fine tuning the proposal. She had previously applied for a Gwaii Trust major contributions grant which had not been successful.Mr. Martin said he will be looking for more volunteer grooming help at the Queen Charlotte graveyard if this project is successful."The grass has to be tidy and tightly clipped," he said.
