Revolutionizing Archaeology - Indigenous Perspectives and Collaborative Practice

Explore how Indigenous perspectives and collaborative approaches are transforming archaeological practice in this 46-minute webinar featuring Dr. Kisha Supernant, Director of the Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology at the University of Alberta. Discover the intersection of cultural identities, landscapes, and spatial relationships through the lens of Métis archaeology and heart-centered archaeological practice. Learn about innovative collaborative research methodologies that build meaningful partnerships between archaeologists and Indigenous communities, including Métis and First Nations groups in western Canada. Examine the Exploring Métis Identity Through Archaeology (EMITA) project, which takes a relational approach to exploring the material past of Métis communities, and understand how remote sensing technologies are being used to locate and protect unmarked burials for First Nations communities. Gain insights into interdisciplinary research on Métis kinscapes, the complexities of history through different ways of knowing with Tsimshian communities, and the evolution of Indigenous archaeology in the post-Truth and Reconciliation Commission era. Understand how GIS technology is being applied in archaeological contexts and explore the broader implications of situated knowledges in Indigenous peoples and place studies.
