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.

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.

Crow Canyon Webinar: Staking Futures Together: Mediating Conflict through Games in Ancient North America
May 22, 2025 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
OnlineIn considering the archaeological manifestation of conflict between peoples in ancient North America, greater attention should be given to gambling games. Across the continent, ubiquitous historic accounts describe gambling games as preferentially an intertribal activity, and further, to have a frequent synonymy with war. Gambling was a valorized pathway to prestige, both through the reputational benefit accrued by redistributing material winnings and through the direct wagering of earned social rank. Conversely, gambling could also have disastrous costs, leading to impoverishment, disgrace, enslavement, and even death. Ideal opponents for the highest-stakes games were thus found not among relatives sharing cooperative goals but among distant social groups among whom there also existed the potential for violent conflict. Gaming, then, represents a choice—not to fight, but to channel uncertain social prospects and tensions into more peaceable means. This position as a liminal activity, taking place on territorial frontiers and at large intertribal gatherings, puts gaming on the very forefront of cultural transmission and social exchange, with important implications. Intergroup competition results in a shared fluency of gambling games, transcending barriers of language and ethnicity. Evidence of common methods and materials allow ancient, region-spanning social networks to be identified. Not coincidentally, some of North America’s largest archaeological assemblages of gaming material are linked to moments of coalescence and the emergence of new social identity. Be it through maintaining networks of alliances over broad areas or forging new ties, gaming in the archaeological record tells the story of peoples staking shared futures together.
