An example of this occurred June 21, 2005, when community members and elders from a number of the 10 Algonquian nations in the Ottawa area convened on the Kitigan Zibi reservation near Maniwaki, Quebec, to inter ancestral human remains and burial goods--some dating back 6,000 years . It was not determined, however, if the remains were directly related to the Algonquin people who now inhabit the region . The remains may be of Iroquoian ancestry, since Iroquoian people inhabited the area before the Algonquin . Moreover, the oldest of these remains might have no relation at all to the Algonquin or Iroquois, and belong to an earlier culture who previously inhabited the area . </P> <P> The remains and artifacts, including jewelry, tools and weapons, were originally excavated from various sites in the Ottawa Valley, including Morrison and the Allumette Islands . They had been part of the Canadian Museum of Civilization's research collection for decades, some since the late 19th century . Elders from various Algonquin communities conferred on an appropriate reburial, eventually deciding on traditional redcedar and birchbark boxes lined with redcedar chips, muskrat and beaver pelts . </P>
