Finding the Children Missing from the Roll Call: Archaeology and Residential Schools

 

The Missing Children Project was an initiative of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) that studied the Residential School System operated by the Government of Canada and the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, and several other denominations during the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the Calls to Action the TRC issued was to investigate child deaths at these schools and to repatriate their remains if the family or community made that request. Our research partnership with the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation began in 2019 with the goal of investigating an abandoned cemetery associated with the Brandon Indian Residential School using archaeological methods. Our project included a plan to excavate within the cemetery and exhume any human remains we found. However, our field work was interrupted by the COVID pandemic. Since were unable to proceed with our original goal, we did a pivot to emphasizing archival and oral history research. In this presentation, I will discuss our results to date and comment on the work that remains.

 

Keynote Speaker:  Eldon Yellowhorn (Piikani Nation), Professor of Indigenous Studies, Simon Fraser University (British Columbia)

 

Speaker Introduction:  Laura Murphy, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe

Our professional community, including the Summit Family, is witnessing a number of prominent retirements and passings. At the 2023 Summit, we began to acknowledge and thank all the Teachers who have helped us on our path to raising the bar on our practice and more effectively protecting cultural resources. It is fitting for us to continue to do so. At this time, we will honor our friend, teacher, and former Suquamish THPO and Summit MC, the late Dennis Lewarch. Our MCs will start us off as we reflect on Dennis’s impact by sharing stories and thanking all our influential Teachers.

Integrating Standards and Technology into Tribal Archaeology

Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde

Zoom Meetings link: this is the same link as the one for the 1:15pm session above (no need to log out over the course of the afternoon)

 

The archaeological record within the state of Oregon is both fascinating and problematic. The state has some of the oldest archaeological sites on this side of the planet but seems to have no central database from which to develop regional syntheses or even reasonable cultural contexts to compare archaeological findings. When conducting archaeological work, one will find that not only are there no standards in ecological contextual recording but there are also few standard typologies, and each federal or state agency (not to mention the many private archaeological firms) has slightly different recording standards or ways of describing archaeological data. Unfortunately, this situation removes from the archaeological record all those who are poorly attested in written history, such as tribes, working people, women, or immigrant communities to name a few. To see the presence of those attested primarily through archaeology, data systemization is needed.

To provide a solution to this situation, and to establish best-management-practices and procedures for meeting its obligations, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde’s Historic Preservation Office developed what it terms the “CTGR Toolkit,” which incorporates established data standards within a digital database housed within the ArcGIS environment. In addition to this toolkit, the program has made use of photogrammetry and LiDAR data in a process of “digital twinning,” as these methods help to address some difficulties where more traditional archaeological techniques are not up to the challenge, particularly when it comes to a more tribal perspective of archaeology.

 

Panelists: Briece Edwards, Historic Preservation Office Manager

4:00 - 4:30 PM Pacific – 5th Annual Summit Book Club!

4:30 - 5:00 PM Pacific – Option to continue discussion during Cohort Activities

The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer (Citizen Potawatomi Nation)

Zoom Meetings link: this is the same link as the one for the 1:15pm session above (no need to log out over the course of the afternoon)

 

*Note: Although reading the book in advance is encouraged, it is not a requirement for participating in this session. Please join us no matter your reading/listening status!

 

Please join us for the 5th Annual Summit Book Club! Once again, we hope that the collective reading experience will set the tone for this year’s Summit and allow opportunities for Summit attendees to engage intellectually and socially while we explore the larger themes of the Summit, including that of Reflections.

 

Our 2025 book selection is The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer (Citizen Potawatomi Nation). This book builds on topics from previous Summits and Book Club selections, including Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants, our very popular inaugural selection by the same author.

 

The Serviceberry picks up where Braiding Sweetgrass left off and expands on the author's idea of a gift economy over the course of a short, yet profound and uplifting read. From the publisher:

 

As Indigenous scientist Robin Wall Kimmerer [author of Braiding Sweetgrass] harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most?  Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival.

 

Join this year's Book Club for an exploration of what it means to step away from capitalism and greed and imagine another way of relating to one another based on kindness, generosity, and interconnected communities.

 

We will discuss the book in a plenary setting, and you will have the option to continue discussions for the full hour. This year, we will invite readers to share a favorite passage and solicit input about how Reciprocity might be realized in our own lives.

 

Accessing the book: In addition to checking out a physical book from your local library or purchasing a copy from your favorite bookseller, it is also available on many of your favorite platforms as an eBook and as an audio book.

After a day of reflections, it’s time to relax and take time to enjoy being together! Enjoy your free drink ticket (see an Agenda Planning Committee member for your ticket), delicious appetizers, and one of the loveliest views on the Salish Sea. Savor the opportunity to visit with friends, old and new, and tell your latest tall tale about cultural resource protection. You are welcome to socialize on the outside Terrace and in the Kitsap Hall, which is just down the hall from the Lobby. We will also have the opportunity to enjoy what has become a very special part of the Reception (anticipated):

​

Suquamish Song & Dance Group (invited)

Please join the Suquamish Song & Dance Group for a very special opportunity to learn more about Suquamish stories, past and present, and to reflect on why we strive to protect cultural resources in the first place. As we listen to the songs, imagine how they might serve as reflections of your practice and your life.

 

For our virtual attendees, while we will not be Zooming during the Reception, we invite you to take a moment to enjoy a very special video that the Suquamish Song & Dance Group produced for the 2020 Summit (the first of two virtual Summits).

Ethnographically Informed Cultural Resource Surveys: A Holistic Approach

Zoom Meetings link: this is the same link as the one for the 8:45am session above (no need to log out until our Noon lunch break)

 

An Interagency Agreement between DAHP and CWU to provide pedestrian survey inventory of cultural resources for citing energy projects called for explicit and overt efforts to work with Tribes. A major theme stemming from Tribal input was the importance of focusing on connections between traditionally defined cultural resources, like archaeological sites and isolates, and other cultural resources in the surrounding landscape, such as plant communities and natural features, that hold cultural importance to Tribal groups. We have labeled our approach ethnographically informed as we use ethnographic information from the literature and from tribal community through informed tribal program staff to provide context for what gets recorded in the field.  In that way, we have adopted and modified the National Park Services cultural landscape approach to recording archaeology.

Applying the cultural landscape approach has resulted in a more comprehensive picture of the potential culturally significant resources that are present in survey areas. This process also allowed us to identify possible relationships between these resources and archaeological sites. However, this approach is not without challenges.  In this session we make three short presentations with commentary from our tribal partners. Data gaps are apparent in our approach and significant problems have arisen. For instance, how can we integrate tribal experts into our surveys so that Traditional Cultural Practices/Properties are identified and preserved for future use? We end with a list of questions for breakout sessions that follow our presentation so that solutions, additional challenges, and alternatives can be discussed by the Summit cohorts.

Culturally Modified Trees: Braiding Methods With On-Going Lessons in Coast Salish Country

This talk invites others to the CMT body of research to share methodological approaches and point to the critical need for community-focused CMT research. Communities play a crucial role in defining culturally modified trees. As cultural resource specialists, it is our responsibility to listen actively to these communities to support and advocate for the preservation of the landscape features and the stories that hold significant meaning. Collaboration with community stewards is essential in safeguarding these figures on the landscape while ensuring that their values are appropriately integrated into documentation strategies. My goal is that audience members will leave with a heightened sense of awareness for these resources within and adjacent to project areas and that CMT studies are for everyone!

NEW Mystery Panel!

Things are moving quickly in the CRM world right now to say the least. It is nearly impossible to anticipate what news will break hour to hour or even minute to minute. Staying informed and flexible are key. We can aspire to this even on the Summit Agenda. Join our capable and courageous Discussants as they lead us in a discussion of the breaking news and hottest topics of the day. They will also address questions generated by Cohorts during the 10:15am session.

 

Discussants:  Rick Eichstaedt, Rey-Bear McLaughlin (Spokane law firm)

In celebration of an 18th Annual Summit well attended, join in a final moderated discussion, including summary comments from our eloquent Discussant, to review what we’ve learned from one another (reflections!) and look towards a more productive, hopeful future. 

 

Thank your hosts and sponsors (and your teachers once more), bid farewell to one another until October or next year, and please complete your Evaluation form (included in your onsite registration packet and posted online on both Summit websites). We truly value your input which is especially important as we work hard to offer “hybrid” Summits and Satellite Summits going forward.

 

Thank you, again, for taking this journey with us!  Stay safe and healthy, and we’ll see you in a few months at the 5th Annual Satellite Summit hosted by Willamette Cultural Resources Associates on October 8 at the University of Washington-Tacoma and/or at the 19th Annual Summit hosted next May 20-21 by the Suquamish Tribe, hybrid format anticipated for both! Safe travels to all!
