Indigenous Archaeology: Historical Interpretation from an Emic Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
This inquiry explores indigenous archaeology as a form of resistance to dominant Western science. Literature was identified and analyzed pertaining to the success of indigenous archaeology in the United States, British Columbia, and Australia.

This study has implications for how we perceive Indigenous peoples from an archaeological perspective.
