In this special edition of the A Life in Ruins Podcast, Carlton co-hosts an
episode with Emily Van Alst, Ash Boydston-Schmidt, and Kay Mattena. The four
discuss the recent SAA controversy surrounding the "Curation, Repatriation, and
Accessibility: Vital Ethical Conversations" session. Specifically, the "Has
Creationism Crept Back into Archaeology?" presentation.
The four Indigenous scholars discuss their thoughts, feelings, and reactions to
the content of the presentation, their disappointment in the SAA for platforming
the talk, the future of the SAA, and how the society can improve its ethics and
better support its Indigenous scholars.
Lastly, they discuss the fallout from the presentation and how some
non-Indigenous scholars are taking advantage of Indigenous trauma to further
their own careers, and how non-Indigenous scholars can truly be allies to
Indigenous people.
