Help us sustain Tribal collaboration at Archaeology Southwest.
The Tribal Working Group (TWG), composed of Indigenous advisors, has played an invaluable role in shaping the ongoing development of the cyberSW database. The TWG’s influence has shifted the focus of cyberSW’s research beyond the study of painted ceramics to include more holistic studies, like plant and animal use, which is essential for cultural revitalization and food sovereignty. The TWG serves as a model for how Tribal and non-Tribal experts can co-create knowledge.
Unfortunately, due to the recent dismantling of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Tribal Working Group has lost significant funding. This termination has placed both the TWG and its essential work at risk.
If you value Tribal collaboration, Indigenous leadership, and transformative research, we encourage you to make a donation to support the TWG’s ongoing work.
By contributing today, you will help ensure that Indigenous voices continue to guide, interrogate, and enrich Archaeology Southwest’s efforts at every stage.
