Description
This book surveys what has often been a stormy relationship between American Indians and archaeologists. Focusing on the areas where the two most often clash (ethics, legislation and archaeological practice), it describes where the mixing of indigenous values and archaeological practice has worked well, and where it hasn't, both in the US and around the world, and surveys attitudes of archaeologists toward American Indians with surprising results. The book advocates the development of indigenous archaeology, in which native peoples are full partners in decisions on heritage resource management and in its practice, too.
