Prehistoric Quarries and Terranes: The Modena and Tempiute Obsidian Sources of the American Great Basin

Abstract

history is reliable and used by Native people to make sense of their world, along with history, anthropology, and other methodologies. Authors should consider who they are writing for and why, as well as the ethics behind asserting Native voices without Native people. Some of the authors do this, others do not, making for a volume of mixed success. Native or not, as academics we should ask ourselves, “Who gave you permission to tell these stories?” At the core, fields such as anthropology, history, and archaeology have ignored this question. It is time to put it at the forefront of academic inquiry and this anthol is a step in the right direction toward that.
