What does being an archaeologist mean to Indigenous persons? How
and why do some become archaeologists? What has led them down a
path to what some in their communities have labeled a colonialist
venture? What were are the challenges they have faced, and the
motivations that have allowed them to succeed? How have they
managed to balance traditional values and worldview with Western
modes of inquiry? And how are their contributions broadening the
scope of archaeology? Indigenous archaeologists have the often
awkward role of trying to serves as spokespeople both for their
home community and for the scientific community of archaeologists.
This volume tells the stories--in their own words-- of 37
indigenous archaeologists from six continents, how they became
archaeologists, and how their dual role affects their relationships
with their community and their professional colleagues. Sponsored
