Summary
We conclude that this First Nations archive is a repository of a different kind, for a different kind of history, grounded in a different kind of time, beyond the limited pasts which most academic historians and archaeologists are used to knowing. Scholars must therefore rely on deep partnerships and reciprocity with First Nations communities to approach these knowledges.
