Passing the Microphone: The Heritage Voices Podcast as Community-Based Archaeology

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Braiding Knowledge: Opportunities and Challenges for Collaborative Approaches to Archaeological Heritage and Conservation" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Heritage Voices Podcast, hosted by the Archaeology Podcast Network, centers the voices of indigenous and traditionally associated peoples in discussions on anthropology, cultural resources and heritage, and land management. This includes a focus on community based archaeology and museums, collaborative ethnography, and tribal consultation. From the beginning co-hosts Jessica Yaquinto and Lyle Balenquah have approached the podcast in a community based manner in order to provide episodes that resonate with communities while being educational and engaging to all listeners. Podcasting provides a unique opportunity to both literally and figuratively pass the microphone to indigenous and other traditionally associated community representatives who are all too often marginalized or excluded from these discussions. The podcast provides an accessible opportunity for our listeners to understand the wide diversity of indigenous and traditionally associated community perspectives and how we can collaborate in our work to protect peoples' connection to place.
