摘要：Aquiet revolution is happening in archaeology: Indigenous
knowledge and worldviews are transforming important
aspects of archaeological practice. This is not a revolution
that aims to upturn current practices. Rather, it involves enriching
and broadening these practices and breaking down stereotypes
from two directions. The expanding interface between
Indigenous peoples and archaeology is creating a zone in which
both archaeologists and Native peoples can move toward a better
understanding of each other. This moves beyond an
unthinking contrast between ¡°us¡± (Indigenous peoples or
archaeologists) and ¡°them¡± (archaeologists or Indigenous peoples),
failing to recognize the elisions between the two, especially
in terms of the numbers of Indigenous archaeologists.
(Note that I use the term ¡°Indigenous peoples,¡± with the capital
¡°I¡± emphasizing the political autonomy and nationhood status
of individual groups¡ªlike Greek, Italian, Polish, American¡ª
while use of ¡°peoples¡± recognizes the hetereogeneity of Indigenous
experiences.)
