Archaeologists, Indigenous Peoples and Managers: What Reconciliation is Possible When Ethics and Perspectives Differ?

Keywords: archaeology, Indigenous Peoples, ethics, collaborative approach, tension, legitimacy
Language(s): French

Abstract

The decolonization of science and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples are leading archaeologists to adopt a new praxis that is more collaborative and more respectful of Indigenous issues, considerations and perspectives. Despite the generally positive consequences emanating from this type of project, tensions can arise between the stakeholders when their needs and objectives do not concur. The fictive case study presented here illustrates the complexity of such situations and the ethical dilemmas that can arise from them.
