Abstract

archaeological collaboration with american indians Case Studies from the Western United States wendi field murray, University of Arizona nicholas c. laluk , University of Arizona barbara j. mills, University of Arizona t. j. ferguson, Anthropological Research, LLC, and the University of Arizona North American archaeologists engage with American Indians in a variety of ways to further the research and preservation goals of both groups. Some projects simply include the participation of individual consultants, while others engage formal collaboration with tribal or- ganizations that help determine research design, project methodol- ogy, and interpretation of results (Colwell-Chanthaphonh and Fergu- son 2008). Research done for and with Indian tribes is expanding the repertoire of questions investigated, changing the manner in which re- search is conducted, and influencing the evaluation of results (Kerber 2006; Silliman 2008). Much of this work takes place in the context of providing information needed for historic preservation and manage- ment of cultural resources, but some cooperative projects develop be- yond legislatively mandated research. An increasing number of tribes play an active role in archaeological research that identifies ancestral sites and traditional cultural properties and clarifies the cultural values that make such places significant.
