San Francisco hosted the Panama-Pacifi c Exposition, and San Diego built the Panama-California Exposition. The San Francisco fair, both larger in size and offi cially sponsored by the federal government, attracted nearly nineteen million people. San Diego lost the competition to host the offi cial fair but nevertheless created an event that attracted over three and a half million people. The fairs were largely celebratory and bright, with buildings bathed in warm colors and nostalgic portraits of California history, showcases for the latest proclaimed achievements in science, and an occasion to buy and exhibit fi ne art. 1 A major attraction in San Diego, and arguably the exhibit at the fair with the most lingering infl uence on American ideas and culture, was a new exhibit called The Science of Man. The exhibition ultimately begat a new museum entirely-the San Diego Museum of Man-but arguably its greatest signifi cance was the manner in which it broke open race and prehistory as themes for audiences in the United States. The exhibit used both art and bones to disc h a p t e r 4 The s t o r y of m a n t h r o u g h the a g e s

Defining Indigenous Archaeology is as difficult as defining "Indigenous". In some areas the term ... more Defining Indigenous Archaeology is as difficult as defining "Indigenous". In some areas the term "Indigenous" is applied to people who existed in an area prior to colonization ("Geography"); in other areas it is applied to people who are related to those people whose ancestors created the culture being studied ("Descendancy"); in others it is applied to the community of people who live in the area where the archaeology is being conducted ("Proximity"). This paper recognizes that Indigenous Archaeology, however defined, has characteristics that add to the scientific study of the human past; that Indigenous Archaeology is not meant to supplant scientific archaeology but to add to archaeology's interpretative powers. In this paper I will provide an overview of Indigenous Archaeology, examine some of the problems in trying to discuss its many facets as a single disciplinary approach to the interpretation of the past, and then close brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk provided by Revistas de la Universidad del Magdalena Who is "Indigenous"? I have elsewhere offered a more pointed discussion of the question of "Who is Indigenous?" (Watkins 2005), and I do not wish to repeat that here, but it is important to understand that the definition of "Indigenous" carries with it economic, political and social implications that reach beyond the practice of archaeology. Therefore, please allow me a short summation of the numerous issues related to the definition of "Indigenous". The International Labor Organization offers a couple of pointed definitions: indigenous people are "peoples in independent countries whose so
