Program Chair: Stephanie Ford ([log in to unmask])
The World Archaeological Congress has long constituted itself as an
organization of worldwide archaeology that recognizes the historical and
social role of archaeology as well as its political context and the need to
make archaeological studies relevant to the wider community. A forerunner
in the debate against institutionalized views that serve the interests of a
privileged few to the detriment of disenfranchised others, the WAC values
diversity against institutionalized mechanism that marginalize the cultural
heritage of indigenous people, minorities and the poor.
WAC focuses on the importance of the historical and social role and the
political context of archaeological inquiry, and seeks to make studies in
archaeology significant to the wider community of individuals, groups, and
nations. In keeping with these aims, WAC presents the this Indigenous
Inter-Congress as a means of providing a forum for examining a range of
issues concerned with Indigenous peoples and their pasts. WAC's First Code
of Ethics acknowledges the obligations of professionals in archaeology and
heritage management to indigenous peoples. This involves the recognition
of the importance of indigenous cultural heritage (sites, places, objects,
artifacts, human remains, etc.) to Indigenous people and also, that this
heritage rightfully belongs to them as their cultural property.
