If done right, the discipline of archaeology is a powerful tool to help tell the stories of the past. But archaeologists haven’t always adequately respected Native culture, leading to mistrust between tribes and outside scientists. New methods are taking hold and more Native people are bringing their perspectives to the field. More and more, tribes are finding ways to collaborate with those who study the past. We’ll talk with a Native archaeologist who encourages others to consider archaeology as a profession.
Guests:
Dr. Kristen Barnett (Unangan) – lecturer in Archeology at Bates College
Jason Nez (Diné) – independent archaeologist
Break Music: Groovy (song) Dallas Arcand (artist) Modern Day Warrior (album)
