Abstract
Beginning in 1995, Colgate University has offered seven two-week summer workshops in archaeology to members of the Oneida (Iroquois) Indian Nation of New York Youth Work/Learn Program. These workshops, directed by Jordan Kerber and funded by the Oneida Indian Nation, Colgate University, and the John Ben Snow Foundation, have provided more than one hundred Oneida teenagers with hands-on experiences in the limited excavation and laboratory processing of prehistoric and historic Native American remains in central New York State. This article also discusses the various challenges and benefits of involving a Native American descendant community in archaeological research.
