Making Voices Heard: Archaeology as Community Engagement

Summary

This is an abstract from the "From Middens to Museums: Papers in Honor of Julie K. Stein" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In the Pacific Northwest today, the professional expectation is that archaeology and community are, or at least should be, intertwined. While collaboration and cooperation are not always easy, past projects spearheaded by Dr. Julie Stein, curator and now executive director, at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle, highlight the importance of establishing long-term relationships. For over 25 years, these projects provide examples of commitment to public outreach, tribal oversight and collaborative exhibitions to connect archaeological insights with community knowledge.
