This database is an inventory program designed to assist with the collection of First Nation' cultural heritage information to a uniform standard. For the purpose of this inventory process the term Traditional Use site means any geographically designed area that has been customarily used by one or more contemporary groups of aboriginal people for some type of culturally significant activity. These sites may not reveal physical evidence of use. Traditional use sites are usually documented through oral, historical, and archival sources. Examples of traditional use sites include spiritual bathing pools, resource gathering areas, locations of culturally significant events etc. Development of the traditional use sites database recording standards and methodology was initiated by the Heritage Conservation Branch of the BC Ministry of Small Business, Tourism and Culture as part of a pilot project called the Cultural Heritage Resources Information System. A number of consulting anthropologists, university departments, provincial governments branches, individual First Nation, and the First Nation Inventory Committee of the BC Summit all made important contributions during the design of this program In August of 1995, responsibility for the data base component of this project was assumed by the Archaeology Branch. Subsequently, a number of revisions have been made to the original documentation in order to integrate with the development of a provincial heritage register pursuant to Section 3 of the Heritage Conservation Act.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Government recording guide</style></notes><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canada (specifically British Columbia, but can be an example for all traditional use site recording initiatives)</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/631985835</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CEMA</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
