Changing How Archaeology Is Done in Native American Contexts: An Ndee (Apache) Case Study
A talk by Nicholas Laluk, assistant professor of anthropology, Northern Arizona University

The White Mountain Apache Tribe Cultural Heritage Resource Best Management Practices present and delineate in guideline form cultural heritage resource definitions, management, and necessary steps before, during, and after project implementation for any ground-disturbing projects potentially adversely affecting cultural heritage resources on Ndee (Apache) trust lands. However, since the tribe's adoption of the practices, the application of Ndee tenets found within the guidelines to real-world cultural and archaeological methods and practices remains scant. Embedded in the Ndee cultural tenets is the tenet of "respect," which I will argue can be used as a tool by non-Ndee researchers to critically reflect on their own research agendas and to guide research projects with Ndee communities. By foregrounding respect within various ongoing archaeological project-related occurrences contemporary Ndee experiences, defining Ndee material trait lists, superiority statements, archaeological categorizations, and stereotypical underpinnings, better paths forward for collaborative research with Ndee and other Native American communities can be highlighted.

Black Bodies Matter
A talk by Aja Lans, Ph.D. candidate in anthropology, Syracuse University
Tuesday, March 23, 2021
2:15–3:30 p.m., as part of Assistant Professor Kelly Britt's ANTH 1400 / CLAS 3210 class
E-mail Assistant Professor Britt to register for the event.
Aja Lans' lecture will focus on the movements #BlackLivesMatter and #SayHerName, and will consider how bioarchaeology can be used to transform our understanding of the long history of violence against Black women in the United States by studying the skeletal and archival remains of Black women who were dissected in New York City during the Progressive Era, many of whom lived through various social reform movements. She will reflect upon how, as a Black woman and an anthropologist, she is living through and witnessing events similar to those that transpired over a century ago and consider what else these women's bodies might tell us about our current moment.
