The volume examines common trajectories in indigenous colonial histories, and explores new ways to understand cultural contact, hybridization and power relations between indigenous peoples and colonial powers from the indigenous point of view.
Colonial encounters between indigenous peoples and European state powers are overarching themes in the historical archaeology of the modern era, and postcolonial historical archaeology has repeatedly emphasized the complex two-way nature of colonial encounters. This volume examines common trajectories in indigenous colonial histories, and explores new ways to understand cultural contact, hybridization and power relations between indigenous peoples and colonial powers from the indigenous point of view. By bringing together a wide geographical range and combining multiple sources such as oral histories, historical records, and contemporary discourses with archaeological data, the volume finds new multivocal interpretations of colonial histories.

Tiina Äikäs is a senior researcher at Archaeology, University of Oulu, Finland, and has a title of Docent in Archaeology, University of Helsinki, Finland. She specializes in Sámi archaeology, with a special interest in Sámi sacred places and their use from the Iron Age to contemporary times. She has also published on contemporary meanings and uses of heritage and on post-colonial archaeology in several international journals.
