UWaterloo Anthropology Sally Weaver Award Event

[Juli-Ann Sannuto]

________________________________

We hope you will join us for this year's Sally Weaver Award<https://uwaterloo.ca/anthropology/current-graduate-students/sally-weaver-award> Presentation and Guest Lecture.

Our guest speaker is Dr. Gary Warrick, Associate Professor, Indigenous Studies and History, Wilfrid Laurier University. The title of Dr. Warrick's lecture is: "The Challenges of Doing Indigenous Archaeology in Canada." Indigenous archaeology advocates a decolonizing approach to doing community-based archaeology with, by, and for Indigenous peoples on their ancestral sites. Decolonization of archaeology is a laudable goal, but there are a number of serious challenges to its actual achievement. This presentation will examine the political and ethical problems faced by an archaeologist intent on doing research archaeology in collaboration with Indigenous communities in Canada.

Gary Warrick worked for ten years as Regional Archaeologist with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and has taught at the Brantford Campus of Wilfrid Laurier University since it opened in 1999, teaching in the Department of Indigenous Studies and History. He has conducted archaeological research of a 19th century Mohawk-Mississauga community in Brantford, Ontario and is completing a community-driven oral history project in South Africa. His current research is focused on the archaeology and historical ecology of the Huron-Wendat, Simcoe County, Ontario.

This year's award recipient is Ashley Piskor, a graduate student in Public Issues Anthropology. Ashely's research interests are Public and Indigenous Archaeology, specifically, how archaeology can be used to promote social justice and community development.
