Community-led indigenous archaeology in Canada

Community-led indigenous archaeology in Canada Dr. Kisha Supernant, Director of the Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology at the University of Alberta, examines community-led Indigenous archaeology in Canada. For much of the twentieth century, archaeologists in Canada studied Indigenous histories largely without the involvement of the living descendants of the peoples whose sites, belongings, and ancestors were being excavated. Archaeologists often treated Indigenous peoples as subjects of study rather than as the rightful stewards of their own cultural heritage.
