Unearthed examines the intersections of history, spirituality, colonialism, and contemporary archaeology through the experiences of archaeologists and Native Californians brought together by an excavationWe explore both archeological and Native relationships to excavation to better understand how different people relate to the past, furthering a conversation about the ethical limits and moral responsibility surround this kind of work. Framed in the context of colonial land grabs and a fight for tribal recognition, this is a story about reclaiming access to cultural heritage amidst a history of trauma and dispossession.
