    Courage and Thoughtful Scholarship = Indigenous Archaeology Partnerships

    FORUM COURAGE AND THOUGHTFUL SCHOLARSHIP = INDIGENOUS ARCHAEOLOGY PARTNERSHIPS Dale R. eroes Robert McGhee's recent lead-in American Antiquity article entitled Aboriginalism and Problems of Indigenous archaeology seems to emphasize the pitfalls that can occur in "indige nolls archaeology." Though the effort is l1ever easy, I would empha­ size an approach based on a 50/50 partnership between the archaeological scientist and the native people whose past we are attempting to study through our field alld research techniques. In northwestern North America, we have found this approach important in sharillg ownership of the scientist/tribal effort, and, equally important, in adding highly significant (scientif­ ically) cullUral knowledge ofTribal members through their ongoing cultural transmission-a concept basic to our explana­ tion in the field of archaeology and anthropology. Our work with ancient basketry and other wood and fiber artifacts from waterlogged Northwest Coast sites demonstrates millennia ofcultl/ral cOlltinuity, often including reg ionally distinctive, highly guarded cultural styles or techniques that tribal members continue to use. A 50/50 partnership means, and allows, joint ownership that can only expand the scientific description and the cultural explanation through an Indigenous archaeology approach.

All rights reserved THE HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF NATIVE AMERICANS Patricia E. Rubertone Department of Anthropology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912; e-mail: Patricia [email protected] Key Words acculturation, direct-historical approaches, landscapes, multicultural communities, colonialism ■ Abstract Historical archaeologists have given relatively scant attention to the study of Native Americans. Despite the potential to contribute to new understandings about Native peoples during and after European contact, the research commitment has been ambivalent at best. In this review, I ground this relationship in early debates about the field’s subject matter and concurrent discussions in anthropology about direct- historical and acculturation models. In addition, I highlight currents in research that have refined these approaches as well as those that have charted new directions. The latter are notable for helping comprehend the role of place and tradition in Native peoples’ lives, but also for reminding us of the complexities of identity construction in America after European contact. I reason that historical archaeology’s use of multiple sources, if linked creatively, can be crucial in producing knowledge about the past that illuminates the rich diversity of experiences among Native Americans. “Did these occurrences have a paradigm ... that went back in time? Or are we working out the minor details of a strictly random pattern?” Erdrich (1998:240) “...all of us remembering what we have heard together—that creates the whole story the long story of the people.” Silko (1981:7) INTRODUCTION Today, definitions of what constitutes historical archaeology are more broadly conceived than ever before.

    “We Do Not Talk About Our History Here”: the Department of Indian Affairs, Musqueam-Settler Relations, and Memory in a Vancouver Neighbourhood

    “We Do Not Talk About Our History Here”: The Department of Indian Affairs, Musqueam-Settler Relations, and Memory in a Vancouver Neighbourhood by Alexandra Sanya Pleshakov B.A., McGill University, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Alexandra Sanya Pleshakov, 2010 ABSTRACT The Musqueam Indian Reserve is one of the few in North America located within the boundaries of a major city. Although historical narratives have long silenced the experiences of urban Aboriginal people, this case study draws attention to the many contexts in which Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people interacted across legal boundaries that supposedly kept reserve space and urban space separate. This thesis argues that the Department of Indian Affairs was the principal actor in both facilitating and constraining Musqueam and non-Musqueam relations in early-twentieth-century Vancouver though its control of land, resources, and the consumer economy. Furthermore, this thesis argues that the policies and practices of the state were so pervasive that they have come to dominate any memory of those relations today. Using an extensive collection of oral histories recently carried out for a local community history project in Vancouver, this study explores the processes through which the history of Musqueam and non-Musqueam interactions have been both remembered and erased. In doing so, this thesis makes clear the relationship of social history to social memory, and contributes to recent scholarly work in documenting how Aboriginal histories are necessarily urban histories.
