“…That said, this study excluded nonrefereed publications from popular databases and publishing platforms, which may be a more normative standard for not only local and Traditional stakeholders but also the practitioners and researchers collaborating with these communities. Stakeholder groups with non-Western values and perspectives may not desire to share their data and perspectives on mainstream publishing platforms-and likely face substantial hurdles in doing so (Mihesuah and Wilson 2002). Only when we raise awareness in the academic community, teach students and early career researchers of the systemic challenges, empower non-Western academics and Knowledge holders, and demand changes to publication standards and access will non-Western voices and values begin to reach broader audiences (Seekamp et al 2021).…”

This article presents a systematic literature review of publications from 2014 to 2021 using “archaeological site” and “climate change” as keywords, in addition to several terms representing forms of stakeholder engagement. Articles were thematically coded to explore trends at the intersection of climate change, archaeology, and local and Traditional stakeholders. Results show that nearly half of the selected publications did not include local and Traditional stakeholder engagement in studies related to climate adaptation planning for archaeological sites. Synthesis of the results with insights gained from other literature on decolonizing archaeology showed that potential reasons for this gap include (1) the academic publishing culture, (2) archaeology as a predominantly Western discipline, and (3) increasingly available tools for climate change adaptation planning for archaeological sites. This article calls on the academic community to consider holistic stewardship using a landscape approach and to use climate change adaptation planning to elevate local and Traditional stakeholder input and values.

“…16 Historian Devon Abbott Mihesuah (Choctaw) analyzes some of the gendered and racialized dynamics within AIM. 17 Both Mihesuah and Elizabeth Castle cover additional ground on Indigenous women in AIM, offering valuable insights into gender relations and the interplay between Indigenous women and Western feminism. 18 Similarly, in her comparative analysis of women' s participation in the male-dominated Black Panther Party and the American Indian Movement, Castle points to women of color's struggle for racial and sexual equality and their dedication to community.…”

“…60 Within their tribal structures, they were less concerned with Western perspectives on women's liberation (which categorized women in terms of mother and housewife and sought to break away from this). 61 Rather, Indigenous women perceived their place and position from a cultural perspective in which womanhood and motherhood were traditionally respected and seen as an integral part of tribal society. Indigenous womanhood is thus frequently regarded as the source of cultural persistence against the relentless assimilationist onslaught of various settler colonial policies.…”

The main purpose of this article is to describe and analyze Indigenous women’sparticipation in the prolonged takeover of Wounded Knee in 1973. Indigenouswomen’s grassroots activism was fundamental for sustaining and keeping the occu-pation alive, yet their contributions were largely eclipsed by the actions of theirmedia-savvy, male comrades-in-arms. What is more important, Indigenous women inthe American Indian Movement (AIM) frequently claimed that they were in a state of“double oppression” or “double colonization”—first, through colonial domination andracial inequality, and second, through male privilege and female subordination—itself,part of the legacy of colonization and the imposition of dominant white patriarchalmasculinity.2 Nationalist struggles such as that of the anticolonial AIM tend to repli-cate the very structures of male dominance that they struggle against. While womenhave been included in public discourse, they have been largely left out of politicaldecision-making.3At Wounded Knee, Indigenous women took on a series of interrelated roles andresponsibilities that kept the occupation alive. Indigenous women skillfully renegoti-ated their gendered position of power within the masculinist organization, constructingfemininities that shifted between domesticated motherhood and female comrades-in-arms. In so doing, they both reaffirmed and challenged sexist and chauvinist attitudes within AIM. They were well known as long-standing community organizers, andtheir active participation at the Wounded Knee takeover was an indication of female empowerment.

“…These practices at times also manifest in these selfproclaimed spokespersons for the colonized others whose spokespersonship is itself discursively colonizing and objectifying, as demonstrated by asking those "others" to "source" their own lived histories and experiences. It can also be seen in informal material practices of power, like when those spokespersons keep those "others" capable of disrupting their knowledge claims through their conscious body-political positioning that inverts the subject-object relationship at bay, ensuring that they have no point of entry into the academy, and only allowing for the entry of those who engage in sanctioned epistemologies and research practices (Mihesuah & Wilson, 2002).…”

This article builds on Indigenous and decolonial theorists’ and activists’ contention that European imperialism and colonialism are inseparable from modern knowledge production, and that the power/knowledge nexus continues to be implicated in the contemporary coloniality of the world. It examines the power relations inherent in imperialism and colonialism as they unfolded in the “before,” “during,” and “after” of a research project on Palestinian refugees that was conceptualized and initiated in the Anglo-Irish academy. It asks what kind of research can researchers, who are structurally positioned within the academies of the former/current imperialist powers and their allies, engage in while carrying out research in communities that are on the other end of the imperial and colonial equation. It concludes by discussing what the possibility of a decolonizing research practice in Palestinian refugee communities may begin to look like during the Palestinians’ settler-colonized and stateless present.
