My research is intertwined with material legacies of people of and on the Pacific coast.  I’ve been fortunate to work in partnership with Tsimshian and Musqueam people as friends, colleagues, and teachers.  My endeavors as a result inhabit intersections of colonialism and race, of materiality and text, of knowledge and experience, of landscapes and sentience. I think that seeking to work collaboratively with Indigenous communities as a non-Indigenous person creates a fundamental interdisciplinarity between the traditions of western and Indigenous scholarship. My recent work is an explicit evaluation of the links between the science of material history and the literature of Indigenous oral records over the Holocene. This work has demonstrated the capacity of Indigenous oral records to accurately record millennia of history, something that while obvious to Indigenous communities is less well understood in the non-Indigenous settler-colonial state. These results also cast some light on the vulnerabilities of different knowledge frameworks, including those of science, to ethnocentrism in the description and explanation of history. My work explores these in both anthropological theory and, increasingly, the interpretation of archaeology in Canadian legal history of Aboriginal rights and titles and in the realm of Indigenous law. I am part of a joint Musqueam-UBC platform for research and teaching partnerships focusing on history and archaeology. I also work with First Nations communities using archaeological methods to locate unmarked cemeteries and graves, including those associated with Indian Residential Schools. I am a member of the National Advisory Committee on Missing Children and Unmarked Burials.

I am trained as an anthropological archaeologist and my research and teaching has focused on the material landscapes of Northwest Coast of North America. I have at times thought that this work includes the history and archaeology of Indigenous communities, the archaeology and ethnohistory of cultural contact and colonialism, archaeology and law, space-syntax analysis of architecture and households, radiocarbon dating and chronology-building, and the use of indigenous oral records in archaeology (and vice versa). However, I am suspect I am actually exploring the practices of archaeology as constituted by attempting these things across the wide distances of colonialism and racism.

My current work includes a long term partnership with the Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla First Nations that explores their history over the Holocene via a comparison of archaeological data and Indigenous oral records.

I also work with Musqueam First Nation in a partnership to offer UBC undergraduate courses that advance the analysis of archaeological research conducted in their territory.

I have an interest in the use of ground penetrating radar to locate human burials, work that I offer primarily as service for Indigenous communities. For information on the application of GPR to cemeteries including IRS contexts, please watch this presentation:

Dawson and M Hvidberg), Commemorating Indian Residential Schools through Archaeology and Digital Heritage. 53^rd Canadian Archaeological Association Annual Conference (virtual). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qBiZHsrD6g

Please note that our capacity at UBC Anthropology to use GPR emerged from a partnership with Musqueam First Nation; our joint TLEF grant application in 2007 allowed us to acquire the equipment and develop the capacity. We continue to employ this method in partnership with Musqueam. You can find resources from this partnership here.

I am the Director of the Canadian Archaeological Radiocarbon Database, which was transferred to UBC LOA from the Canadian Museum of History in 2014: www.canadianarchaeology.ca.

I am a member of the Indigenous/Science research cluster (indigenousscience.ubc.ca), The Laboratory of Archaeology, and the UBC Law and Society program (laso.arts.ubc.ca)
