Just gave the last lecture for the first class I've taught. I was blown away at the end by the students who wanted to tell me about how much they enjoyed the class. However, I did feel like the final boss in a video game when I countered each with "Thanks... see you on Monday for the Final Exam!"

Communties need reliable sources of information and guidance to help support the sacred work of searching for missing children. The defunding of the NAC is a huge setback for the work.

I wonder when POTUS will declare war on the calendar. Clearly, February is an unjust deal, paying for a month but only getting 28 days...

Back when I was an undergrad all I ever wanted was to have class outside. Now that I'm an instructor, all I get is "can we have a zoom lecture, it's too cold" and "can we please go inside". What happened to this generation?

What a blast! I ran a Indigenous Archaeology Micro Course this fall. Not only did we excavate on reserve, but we then brought Indigenous students from Northern Alberta to U of A for classroom and lab learning. Watch the video to learn more! We hope to run more of these...

Had a great time in NOLA last week for the #SHA2025. I co-organized a wonderful session with @archaeomapper.bsky.social, and even got to sneak out and see some swamp (+sleepy gators) in a fanboat!

Ok, I'll say it... I do community work for the food. This past week I hosted some amazing visitors at UAlberta (press release soon) as we collaborate on a site in Northern Alberta. During which they kept me well fed on delicious dry fish. Labwork had never been tastier!

Meet my dog "1952 Eviction Penny." We got Penny after I lost a bet with my partner, Rebecca. Background: I archaeologically study Indigenous removal and dispossession at the request of Nations. The Bet: Find me an artifact precisely dated to the eviction at my PhD site and we get a dog. Result:
A very academic Australian Shepherd x Border Collie reads the Smithsonian Handbook for North American Indians (Vol 6): The Subarctic edited by June Helm (1982).
