| dc.description.abstract | This handbook examines the transformative shifts in Indigenous archaeology, driven by Indigenous peoples’ calls for control over their intellectual and cultural heritage, and the discipline’s growing embrace of Indigenous methods, values, and theoretical frameworks. It highlights how interdisciplinary approaches and Indigenous priorities are reshaping archaeology into a field that addresses global challenges such as climate change and food security, while fostering equitable and ethical partnerships with Indigenous communities. This volume explores key themes, including the decolonization of archaeological theory and practice, the integration of Indigenous worldviews, and the recognition of Indigenous science as a critical contributor to sustainable futures. It underscores the importance of Indigenous leadership in research, ethical relationality, and the potential of archaeology to promote social justice and cultural survival. Ultimately, this handbook advocates for a reconceptualized archaeology—one that is inclusive, multivocal, and dedicated to community building and addressing humanity’s shared challenges. | |
