Crow Canyon Webinar: Archaeology, Indigenous Knowledge, and Restorative Justice in Canada
May 8, 2025 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
OnlineArchaeology in North America has long been associated with colonial, extractive practices, where the materials, landscapes, and bodies of Indigenous people were seen as specimens and objects of study. The long-standing and ongoing critique of archaeology by Indigenous and other systemically excluded voices has led to changes in archaeological practice, but the harmful legacy of past research has not always been adequately addressed. In this talk, Dr. Supernant explores how archaeologists are using archaeological science as service to reorient their work toward reclamation and restorative justice. Drawing on case studies from her own work with Indigenous communities in Canada, the presenter explores how taking a heart-centered approach can transform archaeology from an extractive practice to a restorative one.

About the Instructor: Robert Silas credits learning to make pottery from his godfather Kevin Navasie. Robert’s focus was to revive the Sikyatki pottery of 1100-1600 and accomplished this technique through trial and error. Since 2015 he has revived the Sikyatki method of firing using lignite coal, which he acquires near antelope mesa at Hopi. The Sikaytki pottery was fired with lignite, which burns longer and at a higher temperature than firing pottery with sheep manure. His pieces are inspired by the Sikyatki polychrome and Jeddito black-on-yellow pottery. Each piece is hand-coiled, painted with native clay slips, and a bee-weed plant variant. Robert has won awards for his distinctive and creative pottery. Robert also works as an Interpretive Ranger at Coronado Historic Site.
