Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC)

The Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) is dedicated to the protection, advancement and exercise of Nlaka’pamux title and rights. To carry out this mandate, part of our strategy has been to create legal entities including A.E.W. LP.

AEW LP was formed in 2017 by NNTC member communities to carry out “on the ground” work related to archaeology, the environment and wildlife protection. This work has been made necessary by activities of others within the Nlaka’pamux homeland including transportation, mining, forestry, oil and gas, and utilities projects. The NNTC is not opposed to development within our homeland but developments and activities must be consistent with Nlaka’pamux title and rights. AEW LP is guided by the fundamental Nlaka’pamux law: Take care of the land and the land will take care of you.

AEW LP is a vehicle created to ensure work of the highest standard, controlled by the Nlaka’pamux, is done to protect and promote Nlaka’pamux title and rights:

Our archaeological services include: Heritage Reconnaissance, Archaeological Assessments and Monitoring, Heritage Site Evaluation and Mitigation, Artifact and Faunal Analysis, and GIS Mapping.
Our environmental services include: Environmental Impact Assessments, Environmental Surveying and Management Plans, Implementation of Mitigation and Reclamation Measures and Environmental Auditing and Monitoring Services.

Our Environmental Services team is seeking Heritage Technicians for the upcoming 2020 Field Season for full-time, seven-month contract positions, with a possibility for extensions or permanent positions. You must be prepared to undertake fieldwork out of Lytton, Hope, and/or Kamloops from April through November. Transportation to the worksite and on-the-job training will be provided.

Candidates must have the following:

Be in good physical condition
Willing to work long, flexible hours
Excellent communication skills

Candidate preference may be given to individuals that possess:

Previous experience and RISC training in Cultural Heritage Management
Valid driver’s license with a reliable vehicle

As Nlaka’pamux jurisdiction is re-asserted and our laws and policy govern work within our homeland, AEW LP is there to implement the change. AEW LP is staffed by both Nlaka’pamux and non-Nlaka’pamux. If you are passionate about archaeology/heritage, the environment and wildlife and want the opportunity to make meaningful change not just profit for shareholders, we would like to meet with you.

If you possess the necessary qualifications and skills, please forward your cover letter and resume to: jobs@praxisgroup.ca.

This posting will remain open until the position has been filled.

We thank all applicants in advance. Please self-identify as preference will be given to Nlaka’pamux.
