Abstract
Archaeology fieldwork can be viewed as a compelling method for delivering lessons in environmental education (EE), because cultural history is important to EE, and archaeology looks through both natural and cultural lenses in an outdoor setting. In addition, ethnic minority communities including American Indians have traditionally been underserved by EE (Zint, 2012), and the perspectives of indigenous communities are often lacking from archaeological reporting. With that in mind, this project was developed to be a resource and guide for archaeologists in Cultural Resource Management at public lands agencies, who typically do not have a background in education, in archaeology and environmental education-based public outreach with indigenous youth in Grades 6-12. The intention of the ArchaeologEE program is twofold. It aims to provide effective EE through archaeology that is intended to enrich the educational experiences of indigenous youth through time spent in nature. It also seeks to offer a way to enhance the professional development of archaeologists through a new approach to public outreach and increased engagement with local indigenous communities.
