This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. There were ten War Relocation Centers established during World War II to incarcerate over 120,000 Japanese American citizens and immigrants, but only one had an orphanage.

Improving the D Average: Contextualizing Archaeological Assessments of Eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In Cultural Resource Management (CRM) reports, pre-contact sites are often listed as potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), only under Criterion D (data potential), while post-contact sites are routinely listed under all four criteria. As a result, sites representing relatively minor activities of European settler...

Incorporating Indigenous Views into Cultural Resource Risk Assessments: A Case Study from Sauvie Island, Oregon (2023)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Threats to cultural resources have pushed archaeologists, land managers, and Indigenous peoples to identify at-risk resources, determine their condition, and provide prioritization recommendations for future preservation. Our project is an example of this process in the form of a case study in cultural resources risk assessment, along the 34 km long...

Indigenous Knowledge in Dangerous Times: Research Partnerships, Knowledge Mobilization, and Public Engagement (2018)
What are the impacts of the contemporary political climate on community-based research with Indigenous communities? When archaeologists work in partnership with communities what added complexities do they face during a time when accusations of "fake news" are ever-present, conspiracy theories abound, and the science of climate change is questioned. Contrary to the way some have framed indigenous knowledge as being at odds with science, I'll discuss approaches in which community-based research...
