Abstract

There are several major considerations for the Navajo Nation that foreground questions of inclusion in public archaeology. The traditional Dine view of archaeological remains requires an evaluation of the public archaeologist’s notion of inclusion of Dine communities in archaeological research. Archaeological work on the Navajo Nation is also often a source of frustration for Dine communities because a shortage of human and monetary resources slows the pace of legislated archaeological compliance, in turn, slowing down vital housing and road infrastructural development. Finally, for Dine archaeologists, the structure of project development is not necessarily conducive to the creation of an intellectual foundation for Dine archaeology or community engagement in archaeological research.
