Another Indigenous Feminist on Settler Colonialism in Archaeology
Author(s): Kristen Bos
Year: 2018
Summary
This paper addresses the ongoing phenomenon of settler colonialism that permeates even the best intentioned "decolonizing" efforts. This paper gives the same credence to Indigenous and non-Western laws, stories, and epistemologies; practices what Sara Ahmed (2014) calls "citational rebellion;" and putts substantial weight into the lived experiences of Indigenous peoples in order to argue that when white archaeologists capitalize on Indigenous, Black, or People of Colour’s (BIPOC) things, bodies, and stories to further their research or theories (i.e., the ontological turn), their work just recenters whiteness (Tuck and Wang 2012).
