“A perfect embodiment of the major transformations occurring in North American archaeology today. The wide representation of Native American voices in this volume may be unequalled anywhere in the archaeological literature. The authors advocate methods, concepts, and terminologies to unerase practices of erasure.”—Charles R. Cobb, author of The Archaeology of Southeastern Native American Landscapes of the Colonial Era“As a Native academic with over 20 years of experience engaging with archaeology, I found that these chapters offer new approaches and useful examples I would integrate into my courses and that helped me think that archaeology in North America is moving in the right direction with each new generation of practitioners. By incorporating Indigenous scholars, the book models through practice how to integrate Indigenous knowledge—in its many forms—into archaeology.”—D. Rae Gould, coauthor of Historical Archaeology and Indigenous Collaboration: Discovering Histories That Have Futures
