Winner of the 2019 Mark E. Mack Community Engagement Award from the
Society for Historical Archaeology, the collaborative archaeology
project at the former Stewart Indian School documents the
archaeology and history of a heritage project at a boarding school
for American Indian children in the Western United States. In
Collaborative Archaeology at Stewart Indian School, the team's
collective efforts shed light on the children's education,
foodways, entertainment, health, and resilience in the face of the
US government's attempt to forcibly assimilate Native populations
at the turn of the twentieth century, as well as school life in
later years after reforms. This edited volume addresses the theory,
methods, and outcomes of collaborative archaeology conducted at the
Stewart Indian School site and is a genuine collective effort
between archaeologists, tribal members, and former students of the
school including University of Nevada, Reno, Nevada Indian
Commission, and Washoe Tribal Historic Preservation Office. With
more than twenty contributing authors, over half of which are
tribal members (Washoe, Paiute, and Shoshone), this rich case study
is strongly influenced by previous work in collaborative and
Indigenous archaeologies. It elaborates on these efforts by
applying concepts of governmentality (legal instruments and
practices that constrain and enable decisions, in this case,
regarding the management of historical populations and modern
heritage resources) as well as social capital (valued relations
with others, in this case, between Native and non-Native
stakeholders). As told through the trials, errors, shared
experiences, sobering memories, and stunning accomplishments of a
group of students, archaeologists, and tribal members, this rare
gem humanizes archaeological method and theory and bolsters
collaborative archaeological research.
