Speaker: Katsi’tsahén:te Cross-Delisle

Language: English

Katsi’tsahén:te Cross-Delisle is a Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk), a member of the bear clan, from the community of Kahnawà:ke. Her work as an Indigenous Archaeologist often centers on challenging colonial perspectives in historical research, particularly in relation to how Indigenous communities are portrayed. She consistently critiqued the way Western Archaeology has traditionally framed Indigenous Peoples and their histories, often reducing them to artifacts or “static” cultures, rather than recognizing their dynamic, evolving cultures and identities. Her cultural advocacy work focuses on Indigenous sovereignty, decolonization, and the preservation of Indigenous Knowledge systems.  Aiming to bridge the gaps between Indigenous worldviews and mainstream academic practices. This community-based approach allows for the preservation and revitalization of knowledge that may otherwise be lost or overlooked.  Katsi’tsahén:te Cross-Delisle stands as an important figure in the intersection of archaeology, cultural preservation, and Indigenous rights, playing a key role in the ongoing efforts to decolonize Archaeology and ensure that Indigenous Peoples are the primary custodians of their own history and cultural heritage.
