Scientists' Warning to Humanity on Threats to Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems
The knowledge systems and practices of Indigenous Peoples and local communities play critical roles in safeguarding the biological and cultural diversity of our planet. Globalization, government policies, capitalism, colonialism, and other rapid social-ecological changes threaten the relationships between Indigenous Peoples and local communities and their environments, thereby challenging the continuity and dynamism of Indigenous and Local Knowle…

Indigenous Archaeology
What has become known as “indigenous archaeology” took form in the 1990s through efforts to ensure a place for descendent communities in the discovery, interpretation of, benefits from, and decision making about their heritage. This followed growing public awareness of the plight of indigenous peoples worldwide, the passage of federal legislation to protect tribal interests, and a commitment by anthropologists and archaeologists to counter the co…

Intellectual property and the ethical/legal status of human DNA: The (ir)relevance of context
There has been much discussion in recent years about the ethical and legal status of human DNA. This topic is of great relevance and importance to Aboriginal communities because the question of who has the right of access to and control over the DNA of individual persons, or of DNA extracted from human remains, could have implications for an entire community. In another context an individual's decision to contribute a blood sample for health rese…
The Premise and Promise of Indigenous Archaeology
Researchers have increasingly promoted an emerging paradigm of Indigenous archaeology, which includes an array of practices conducted by, for, and with Indigenous communities to challenge the discipline's intellectual breadth and political economy. McGhee (2008) argues that Indigenous archaeology is not viable because it depends upon the essentialist concept of 'Aboriginalism.' In this reply, we correct McGhee's description of Indigenous Archaeol…

Decolonizing the Archaeological Landscape: The Practice and Politics of Archaeology in British Columbia
In British Columbia, Canada, the practice of archaeology has been strongly influenced by issues of First Nations rights and the ways government and industry have chosen to address them. In turn, this situation has affected academic (i.e., research-based) and consulting (i.e., cultural resource management) archaeology, which have had to respond to changes in the provincial Heritage Conservation Act (HCA) and to the implementation of archaeological…

On Intellectual Property Rights and Archaeology
Copyrighting the Past: Emerging Intellectual Property Rights Issues in Archaeology
Rights to intellectual property have become a major issue in ethnobotany and many other realms of research involving Indigenous communities. This paper examines intellectualpropertyrightsrelated issues in archaeology, including the relevance of such rights within the discipline, the forms these rights take, and the impacts of applying intellectual property protection in archaeology. It identifies the products of archaeological research and what t…

Howard Roy Sargent 1922-1993
was an archaeologist of place. Unlike many other archaeologists whose research takes them far from their home, Sargent's roots in New Hampshire were strong and lovingly nurtured. Over the past four decades, his was perhaps the principal name associated with New Hampshire prehistory. He was also a gifted and highly respected teacher, and the founding editor of the primary archaeology journal of the Northeast, Man in the Northeast (now Northeast An…
