The Pueblo de Abiquiú Library and Cultural Center as Leader in Genízaro Archaeological Investigations

Author(s): Isabel Trujillo; Jun Sunseri

Year: 2019

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Chicanx Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Berkeley-Abiquiú Collaborative Archaeology (BACA) Project has been in partnership with the Merced del Pueblo de Abiquiú and the Pueblo de Abiquiú Library and Cultural Center for several years now. Recruiting assistance from a non-local academic partner, Abiquiú leaders created not only an opportunity for testing the utility of archaeology for achieving community goals, but also to fulfill the mandate of intergenerational knowledge transfer that is core to the partnership mission. The intersectionalities of storytelling, cultural revival, and control of heritage resources reframe how an archaeological partnership can serve local interests.
