In this episode, we are joined by Kay Mattena, a Ph.D. student in Archaeology and Indigenous Science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, a Descendent of the Citizen Band of Potawatomi, and first appeared on Episode 54: SAA 86th Annual Conference, and Indigneous Response. We talk about her earliest encounters with science, nature, and archaeology and delve into her undergraduate career. We then take a deep dive into Indigenous archaeology and how museum collections can be decolonized. We finish out by talking about ethnoarchaeology and experimental archaeology.
