Hey hey #AABA2023 folks! While I get very nervous I'm also excited for the un-presentations session today at 2:30 in Tuscany 8. So wonderful to see things like #UnEssays be done here (and I'm side eyeing the people who mocked me for doing these in classes years ago... 🤷‍♂️)

You asked: What books or other resources would you recommend related to your research? #AskAnAnthropologist Dr.@PauletteSteeves answered! ⬇️

Depending on what you want to learn more about, my book The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere (2021, U of Nebraska Press) has a references section listing the publications and people I cited. There are many Indigenous scholars listed.
57
There are so many great articles and books. Start with Vine Deloria Jr.'s Red Earth, White Lies.

You asked: Do you have any advice for other Indigenous or first generation students interested in going to graduate school? #AskAnAnthropologist Dr. @PauletteSteeves answered! ⬇️

Just do it and email me any time. We need many more Indigenous scholars in academia. Listen to your ancestors' messages and do not let racism or colonial scholars deter you. Step past them and focus on your journey and call me any time.
59
You asked Dr. @PauletteSteeves: With the work you focus on, there can be backlash with the ideas you are pushing forward to reshape what has been known about the history of Indigenous people. How do you deal with people & institutions who don't agree with or support your work?🧵

So it has been made clear to me that mainstream archaeology makes claims to support Indigenous archaeologists. However, my experiences strongly support this is not really so when you are researching colonization and racism in archaeology and reclaiming deep Indigenous history.
101
Though I have not been hired to a institution with a program in archaeology, I have applied to a number and had an interview at one institution that was traumatic and violent. I was screamed at and told to change how I talk about archaeology and archaeologists.
81
As an elder told me, I was given a job to do, and I am honored to do it, and if people and institutions do not support my research, they have kept it to themselves or their circles. 🙂

Though this has been the embedded standard in Archaeology, people have pretty much left me alone. I believe my ancestors walk with me always and they have kept the violence away from me. 🙂

You asked: What is your favorite class to teach and why? #AskAnAnthropologist Dr. @PauletteSteeves answered!

After surveying over 300 students, I understand that this class changes students' worldviews of Indigenous people and pushed back on misinformation, racism, and bias.

Decolonizing Indigenous History. It is so incredible to see students' understanding of Indigenous histories transform their worldviews of Indigenous people in the present.
