Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article shares the story of an octogenarian Western Shoshone (Newe) elder who removed a grinding stone from an archaeological dig in protest and was threatened with federal fines and jail time. She shared a video recording of the incident and her correspondence with federal agencies in the interest of making her story known more widely. In this article, I unpack the politics of heritage management in this settler colonial context, using extended quotations so that the Newe involved serve as the primary theorists and analysts of the situation and its significance to Newe heritage. Through this approach, we get a glimpse of how some Newe elders have experienced anthropology and heritage management in practice, exposing power relations entangling anthropology through its utility in dealing with issues of heritage.
