Inuvialuit Living History in the SAA Record
Our article about collaborative work on the Inuvialuit Living History Project was recently published in a special issue of the Society for American Archaeology’s SAA Archaeological Record. The issue features case studies of international collaborations with Aboriginal communities, and we were honored to be a part of this effort.
There was a very strong set of contributions from our colleagues in the IPinCH project (Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage); as reposted from the IPinCH website:
Collaborative projects in archaeology are challenging to develop, but they have the potential to reap great benefits and satisfaction for the participants, especially so for Indigneous peoples. The September issue of the Society for American Archaeology’s SAA Archaeological Record, a quarterly publication, contains a special forum on International Collaborations, edited by Kisha Supernant. The forum highlights current and recent collaborative projects in Tanzania, Australia, New Caledonia, and Canada. IPinCH has a strong presence in the collection, both directly and indirectly: three of the six articles focus on IPinCH or IPinCH-funded community based initiatives (Ngaut Ngaut and Inuvialuit), while two others are co-written by IPinCH team members (Ian Lilley, Claire Smith). The collection is available for on-line reading or free download at: www.saa.org/AbouttheSociety/Publications/TheSAAArchaeologicalRecord/tabid/64/Default.aspx
