"Nearly three decades ago, archaeologist Bruce Trigger observed that “archaeology will not be a decolonized discipline until there are a substantial number of fully qualified and practicing Native archaeologists.” Whatever a “substantial” number might be, archaeology is not yet there, but the number of Indigenous archaeologists is rapidly trending upward. The 56 archaeologists featured in Working as Indigenous Archaeologists can be added to the 36 featured in the 2010 volume Being and Becoming Indigenous Archaeologists. Their goals, challenges, and accomplishments in telling their peoples’ stories show what a decolonized archaeology will look like and what a far more inclusive and valuable discipline it can become."
