In the lands currently called Canada, archaeology is often used to tell stories about the history of this place, but often at the expense of Indigenous nations. Throughout its history, archaeologists have positioned themselves as experts on, and stewards of, the past for the good of all \u2013 even though those pasts are sometimes not their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this talk, Supernant will explore how archaeology in Canada has been and continues to be part of the settler colonial state, centring knowledge from archaeologists and heritage practitioners rather than Indigenous peoples. Supernant will provide examples of how archaeological research has marginalized Indigenous voices, even when archaeologists have good intentions and will make suggestions for how to move toward a better archaeology for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This lecture is co-presented with the support of the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

杏吧原创 the Shannon Lecture Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 2018 Shannon Lecture series examines \u201cbad archaeology\u201d \u2013 what happens when the practice of archaeology is done in bad faith? Modern archaeology emerged from a colonialist setting where the heroic lone (male) adventure wrestled knowledge in exotic (to him) places. In many ways, the field has never shed that association and the promise of adventure and heroism. The 2018 series of lectures will explore some of the ways \u201cbad archaeology\u201d has meaningful consequences \u2013 especially in the Canadian context. By understanding \u201cbad\u201d archaeology, we may begin to understand the power of \u201cgood\u201d archaeology for our present day and age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shannon Lecture series is made possible by the Shannon Fund, an endowment created by Lois May Long, who was a friend of the 杏吧原创 History Department and longtime support for both students and faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
