'Indigenous Archaeologies not only offers a comprehensive and significant contribution to these debates, it is also one of those publications that defines and precipitates an important turning point. This book is a 'must have' for any archaeological library... I have used this book in both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. The students have found it accessible and informative, but also challenging, as it encourages them to engage constructively with intellectually and emotionally complex themes and issues. I highly recommend Indigenous Archaeologies and hope that all archaeologists working with communities will find the time to read it.' - Laurajane Smith, University of York, Antiquity
