Summary

This is an abstract from the "Collaborative Archaeology at Picuris Pueblo: The New History" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The new research reported in this session builds on collaborations between Picuris Pueblo and non-tribal archaeologists that began in 1960s. In this opening presentation, former Picuris governor Richard Mermejo reflects on the long history of his tribe’s engagement with archaeology, his own vision of how future research might advance tribal priorities, and more broadly on the relationship between traditional Indigenous knowledge and scientific inquiry.
