Editors Notes/Notes du rédacteur

Editor’s Notes Gerald Oetelaar
As I noted in the preceding issue of the journal, the election of a member of First Nations to serve as president of the Canadian Archaeological Association marks a new direction for the association. In particular, the election of Eldon Yellowhorn represents an important step in making the association more inclusive by having Canadian archaeologists serve as spokespersons for the people whose ancestors they study. This issue of the journal includes an article by Natasha Lyons, Peter Dawson, Matthew Walls, Donald Uluadluak, Louis Angalik, Mark Kalluak, Philip Kigusiutuak, Luke Kiniksi, Joe Karetak, and Luke Suluk which illustrates the merits of such inclusive approaches to the discipline at a time when the promise and potential of Indigenous archaeology is being debated in the pages of American Antiquity, primarily in response to an article by McGhee entitled “Aboriginalism and the Problems of Indigenous Archaeology.” Lyons and her collaborators take issue with some of the points raised by McGhee and use their collaborative effort as an example of what can be accomplished when archaeologists work with members of Indigenous communities.
