Getting Over Myself and Other Ruminations on Decolonizing Archaeology

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Praxis Makes Perfect: Celebrating the Academic Life and Times of Randy McGuire" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Randy McGuire’s writings on Native American heritage and decolonization have had a widespread impact throughout North America, and they have certainly influenced my own work in the American Southeast. As he has emphasized, the path toward partnership and multivocality can be a rocky one, but one that archaeologists must follow. I consider some of my own experiences on this path, and how my time at Binghamton University was instrumental for setting the stage for my work with the Chickasaw Nation today.
