Indigenizing Archaeology

“Provides important insights, ideas, and practical examples from the next generation of Indigenous archaeologists. It’s exciting to see these conversations and methodological commitments coming forward to inform future decades of archaeological practice.”—Sonya Atalay, coeditor of Archaeologies of the Heart

“Offers a unique contribution with its roster of Indigenous scholars and showcases thoughtful approaches to making archaeology and museums more Indigenous and Indigenized. Definite required reading for archaeologists, museum professionals, cultural anthropologists, and Native American and Indigenous studies scholars, and should serve as both aspiration and inspiration for other Indigenous researchers.”—Stephen W. Silliman, editor of Collaborating at the Trowel’s Edge: Teaching and Learning in Indigenous Archaeology

“An important, wide-ranging sample of voices and case studies that show how North American Indigenous archaeologies continue to evolve. This scholarship reflects an Indigenized archaeology that is inherently adaptable and innovative. Critically, this volume helps set the stage for a more socially relevant and applied archaeology in the years to come.”—Edward A. Jolie, University of Arizona

“Creatively engages Indigenous ideas and concepts in the practice of archaeology and moves Indigenous archaeology in new and exciting directions.”—Kerry F. Thompson, Northern Arizona University

“Indigenizing Archaeology comprises a series of beautifully written and deeply personal accounts of young Indigenous scholars working in various cultural-heritage-related fields across North America. . . . In advancing broader efforts toward Indigenous self-determination, the eleven chapters in this edited volume lay out a new politically engaged agenda that demands that Indigenous people be at the center of archaeological praxis in North America.”—Journal of Anthropological Research
