Synopsis

Case studies and perspectives from Indigenous scholars who are helping to transform the discipline of archaeology



This book
highlights early-career Indigenous scholars conducting research in North
America who are advancing the growing paradigm of archaeological study
done with, by, and for members of Native-descendant communities.
Expanding on the foundational works of scholars from previous
generations, this volume includes examples of Indigenous methodologies
and illustrates different approaches for applying theory in various
research scenarios.



The contributors weave together
western scientific research methods and Indigenous knowledge,
ontologies, and epistemologies, demonstrating how this combination can
lead to fuller interpretations of the archaeological record. Case
studies describe new, culturally specific ways of establishing working
relationships with descendant communities and stakeholders. The volume
argues that there are many ways a collaborative method can be
implemented and that Indigenous people should be involved not just as
consultants but as participants and stewards of their own cultural
heritage. Indigenizing Archaeology demonstrates that this approach is more than a subfield; it is the path forward for the discipline.
