Collaborating with Diné Communities

On Tuesday, May 2, Wade Campbell presented "Collaborating with Diné Communities" for the last talk of the 2022-2023 Archaeology Café season.
Dr. Campbell is a Diné (Navajo) historical archaeologist whose research examines the relationships between Diné communities and other local groups in the U.S. Southwest from the 17th century to the present day, including the Pueblos, Spanish, and Americans. His research explores Navajo settlement patterns, economic activity, and incipient Indigenous pastorals that have shaped the greater Four Corners region.
In this presentation, Dr. Campbell discusses "thinking outside the 'pueblito' box." He explores what is a 'pueblito' and how it has been linked to Navajo Archaeology and a more extensive history of anthropological/anthropological thought. In conclusion, he will challenge that thinking and argue for a recasting of 'pueblos.'
