Public and professional responses to the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests reveal a space where archaeologists can potentially connect past and present. Archaeology has already been applied to protests over labor conditions, environment destruction, and weapons proliferation in both the United States and United Kingdom. Extending that work to Native American protests raises awareness of the legacy of the broken treaties that underlie many of these actions. For example, the 1969–1971 occupation of Alcatraz Island is where contemporary Native American protest history often begins. A simple pushpin map of protests since then shows that the DAPL protest at Standing Rock was unique only in its extensive media coverage. Building greater awareness of these actions will improve the ways archaeologists carry out their compliance responsibilities and respond to an often-misinformed public. Working with tribal colleagues to identify protest sites would enhance existing efforts to protect ancient sites and reinforce the need for tribal input in evaluating impacts to its cultural landscapes.

从恶魔岛到立石：考古学和当代美洲原住民抗议（1969 年至今）

公众和专业人士对 Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) 抗议活动的回应揭示了考古学家可以连接过去和现在的空间。在美国和英国，考古学已经被应用于抗议劳动条件、环境破坏和武器扩散的抗议活动。将这项工作扩展到美洲原住民的抗议活动，提高了人们对许多这些行动背后的违反条约遗留问题的认识。例如，1969 年至 1971 年对恶魔岛的占领是当代美洲原住民抗议历史经常开始的地方。一张简单的自那时以来的抗议图钉图显示，立岩的 DAPL 抗议活动的独特之处仅在于其广泛的媒体报道。提高对这些行动的认识将改善考古学家履行其合规责任和回应经常被误导的公众的方式。与部落同事合作确定抗议地点将加强现有保护古代遗址的努力，并加强部落在评估对其文化景观的影响方面投入的必要性。
