Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussion of the Archaeology Hour talk by Danyelle Means (Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, Santa Fe). Have you noticed empty exhibit cases at museums over the past two years as museums move to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)? Means' presentation reframes NAGPRA not as a legal obligation but as a vital opportunity for healing, reciprocity, and relationship-building between archaeologists, museums, and Indigenous communities. Drawing from Indigenous perspectives, the talk explores how NAGPRA challenges institutions to move beyond compliance and toward practices rooted in respect, sovereignty, and shared stewardship. By centering Native voices and experiences, this session invites the audience to consider how honoring ancestors and returning cultural items can transform the field into one of accountability, trust, and long-term collaboration. This event is free and open to the public.

Attendance and participation can count towards the "campus events" requirement for the new Law, Culture, and the Humanities minor.

Session 1 meets on Feb. 9th; session 2 meets on Feb. 23 We will explore how the ongoing government attacks on higher education in the US involve both traditional legal sanction and an emerging regime of extortion.
