Issues related to indigenous archeology have attracted a range of ideas, particularly regarding intellectual breadth and political economy. This article is based on a review of two articles on archeology according to Colwell-Chanthaphonh etal (2010) and McGhee (2008). In light of this, the response will take into account the comments made in both articles, the important questions raised in both articles, and the application information obtained as it was transmitted virtually outside of class. The first article, “The Premises and Promises of Indigenous Archaeology,” raises serious concerns about the need to involve Indigenous peoples in archeology. It states that people's values, knowledge, practices and ethics should be fully included in archeology in the respective fields. By the standards of all societies, many things that happen in a society are supposed to involve community participation to avoid rebellion. Colwell-Chanthaphonh et al. describe that the need to raise awareness among all stakeholders in a society is a crucial issue. He continues by naming the Native Americans, the Indians as well as the colonialists of these regions. It is an inclusive society that emphasizes the importance of global extraction of information from a given society. One of the main reasons why inclusion is important is because the people living in a given area are very similar to ancient people who lived in the same area (Colwell-Chanthaphonh, Ferguson, Lippert, & Randall H. McGuire, 2010). ). Therefore, due to its accuracy, information obtained from archaeological research is bound to be correct. An example is Aboriginal people who have been in the same geographical and physical environment for as long as...... any information they would depend on to be true (McGhee, 2008). Additionally, inclusion is a way to check trends in a society. Out-of-class events, in addition to being practical, are, however, the same as those learned in class, even if different researchers have different ideas. Both articles clearly outline crucial questions regarding involvement in issues that constitute the lives of people living in a given area. Both articles developed the fundamental aspect of archeology and the need to bring indigenous people into the plot of a constructive enterprise.
