Martin Lominy was born in Montreal in 1975. Initially interested by paleontology, he finally chooses to studty anthropology at the University of Montreal with a specialization in archaeology. After a field course in Peru, he develops an interest in Latin America and decides to expand his field of study to include ethnology and history. From there, his training becomes multidisciplinary and leads him to undertake a study Maya architecture as his graduate project which he then makes public with an educative website.

Fascinated by Maya culture and interested in educative applications, he then joins a museology project at the National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in Guatemala where he adopts an intercultural perspective and an educative approach. So begins his career in museum education with a specialization in science and heritage interpretation. It is during his first years of animation at the McCord Museum that he comes in direct contact with northern aboriginal traditions and has the opportunity to actively study them for several years through various educative projects. This new passion leads him to develop an expertise on aboriginal technologies that he puts in practice through experimental archaeology and ethnobotany. Since then, he has been learning traditional craftsmanship to reproduce technologies that have disapeared or are disapearing.

Currently, he works as supervisor of education and visitor service at the Musée des maîtres et artisans du Québec and collaborates with various organizations for the promotion of Canadian history, Quebec archaeology and aboriginal cultures as lecturer and consultant. He has produced educative programs, cultural activities and educative material for museums, interpretation centers and various organizations. He also taught anthropology at college level and works as a craftsman specialized in the reproduction of artefacts, models and various crafts.

Are you looking for an aboriginal artefact reproduction or architecture model for an exhibition, an educative project or a collection? I am specialized in the reproduction of ancient technologies and the experimentation of traditional craftsmanship. My work is based on research in experimental archaeology and ethnobotany to produce objects that are scientifically documented, tested by experimentation and respectful of traditions. Each of my creations is a unique handmade traditional craft. Nearly a hundred archaeological and ethnographic reproductions available in the categories:

- Woodworking tools - Fishing tools - Hunting and tanning tools
- Sewing and weaving tools - Domestic objects - Toys
- War instruments - Sound instruments - Models

Are you looking for an archaeologist specialized in aboriginal technologies to design an activity for museum visitors, do an animation for a special event, do a workshop with students in school, give a conference for an adult audience, give a training session for interpreters, speak about the trade of archaeology or make a demonstration of traditional crafts? After several years of experience, I share my knowledge in archaeology and my passion for aboriginal cultures by offering professional services for the design and animation of educative and cultural activities for all publics. Each activity program allows you to:

- Discover the diversity and ingenuity of aboriginal technologies
- Handle tools and objects made of natural materials
- Observe demonstrations drawn from tradition and experimentation
