Just do it and email me any time. We need many more Indigenous scholars in academia. Listen to your ancestors' messages and do not let racism or colonial scholars deter you. Step past them and focus on your journey and call me any time.

You asked Dr. @PauletteSteeves: With the work you focus on, there can be backlash with the ideas you are pushing forward to reshape what has been known about the history of Indigenous people. How do you deal with people & institutions who don't agree with or support your work?🧵

Though this has been the embedded standard in Archaeology, people have pretty much left me alone. I believe my ancestors walk with me always and they have kept the violence away from me. 🙂

Peer review is chosen by the publishing journal or publisher. So as an author I have no control on who peer reviews my articles and books, though I can make suggestions for peer reviewers.

As an undergraduate student I was asked to support a Native American community in a repatriation process. The results of that research and process were that 500 ancestors were returned to the community and repatriated for reburial.

Great strategies and resources for helping students learn to read in anthropology in this thread:
My current class is mostly 1st years, who mentioned being overwhelmed with the amount of reading. So I thought we should discuss strategies and tips on “how to read”... Curious to hear if others have done something like that & what has worked for you? #AnthroTwitter
