The need for a non-militant indigenous historical archaeology in Latin America and beyond. Response to Felix Acuto

Monié Nordin, Jonas LU orcid (2024) In Archaeological Dialogues 31(1). p.35-38
Abstract

Indigenous archaeology and archaeology of Indigeneity are paramount in the contemporary world. We certainly need more of it across the archaeological scale and across the archaeological globe. Archaeology’s unhealthy attachment to colonialism, colonial administration and imperialism keeps on affecting our discipline on all levels. It is therefore encouraging to read Felix Acuto’s call for an engaged and activist Indigenous archaeology of Latin America. It is certainly needed, but depressing to learn about the recurrent atrocities against Indigenous peoples in Argentina.
