The Arrow of Ambivalence (Part 2) - Ep 38

In this episode of The Great Plains Archaeology Podcast, we dive into the history of Indigenous representation in the Sid Meier’s Civilization series. From early portrayals to the groundbreaking collaboration with the Shawnee for Civilization 7, we explore how gaming has shaped public perceptions of Indigenous histories. Our discussion unpacks the importance of authentic representation, the role of Indigenous-led initiatives in game development, and how community engagement can create more accurate and meaningful narratives. Tune in as we examine what this means for archaeology, public education, and the future of Indigenous storytelling in digital spaces.

The CRM podcast hosts are joined by Spencer Pelton of the Substack newsletter Social Stigma and author of some insightful articles about this very subject. This podcast is a must listen for anyone concerned about what these EOs will mean for our profession and interested in a consideration of the facts and potential solutions.

Executive Orders and Impact on CRM - CRMArch 306

On today’s episode, Jessica chats with Kendrick McCabe (Ethnographer and Cultural Resource Specialist at Parametrix). Kendrick talks about switching from studying Engineering to Anthropology at the University of Alaska after connecting with Alaska Native classmates. This experience led to an interest in Indigenous naming and identity. Later he continued this work by looking at how people express and shape their culture through the lens of social media. Finally, we talk about his ethnographic and cultural resource work at Parametrix, from working with a local Diné community on a historic uranium mine to working on the Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project, as well as on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. Kendrick peppers in lots of good advice for anyone doing Tribal Consultation, Ethnographic, or Cultural Resources work with Indigenous communities!

The Archaeology Show

All the history we read in the history books can begin to seem a little mundane,
but history also has a Flipside. Each month we take an historical event
anniversary and, admittedly sometimes tenuously, extract a discussion topic from
it, then we ask guests from the history, archaeology and heritage spheres to sit
down and have a chat with us about it... no holds barred; these discussions
could head off in any number of tangents. Ever wondered how suffragette martyr
Emily Wilding Davison, a little-known hieroglyph specialist and the modern
gender pay-gap are linked, well except from all being in one single episode of
Flipside that is... listen and find out! And as always, stay safe, and we'll see
you on the Flipside! #OnTheFlipside

Flipside
