Native Americans and archaeologists : stepping stones to common ground / Nina Swidler ... [et al.], editors.

Swidler, Nina. (Added Author). Society for American Archaeology. (Added Author).

Summary:

Legal and economic factors have thrust American archaeology into a period of intellectual and methodological unrest. Issues such as reburial and repatriation, land and resource 'ownership, ' and the integration of tradition and science have long divided archaeologists and Native American communities. Both groups recognize the need for a dramatic transformation of the discipline into one that appeals to and serves the greater public. This book tackles these and other issues by elucidating successful strategies for collaboration.
