Archaeologists have long been called on to use geophysical techniques to locate unmarked graves in both archaeological and forensic contexts. Although these techniques—primarily ground-penetrating radar (GPR)—have demonstrated efficacy in this application, there are fewer examples of studies driven by Indigenous community needs. In North America, the location of ancestors and burial grounds is a priority for most Indigenous communities. We argue that when these Indigenous voices are equitably included in research design, the practice of remote sensing changes and more meaningful collaborations ensue. Drawing on Indigenous archaeology and heart-centered practices, we argue that remote-sensing survey methodologies, and the subsequent narratives produced, need to change. These approaches change both researchers’ and Indigenous communities’ relationships to the work and allow for the inclusion of Indigenous Knowledge (IK) in interpretation. In this article, we discuss this underexplored research trajectory, explain how it relates to modern GPR surveys for unmarked graves, and present the results from a survey conducted at the request of the Chipewyan Prairie First Nation. Although local in nature, we discuss potential benefits and challenges of Indigenous remote sensing collaborations, and we engage larger conversations happening in Indigenous communities around the ways these methods can contribute to reconciliation and decolonization.

长期以来，考古学家一直被要求使用地球物理技术在考古和法医环境中定位无标记的坟墓。尽管这些技术（主要是探地雷达 (GPR)）在此应用中已证明有效，但由土著社区需求驱动的研究实例较少。在北美，祖先和墓地的位置是大多数土著社区的优先事项。我们认为，当这些土著声音被公平地纳入研究设计时，遥感实践会发生变化，更有意义的合作随之而来。借鉴土著考古学和以心为中心的实践，我们认为遥感调查方法以及随后产生的叙述需要改变。这些方法改变了研究人员和土著社区与工作的关系，并允许将土著知识 (IK) 纳入解释中。在本文中，我们讨论了这条未充分探索的研究轨迹，解释了它与现代无标记坟墓的 GPR 调查的关系，并展示了应奇普维恩草原第一民族的要求进行的调查结果。尽管本质上是地方性的，但我们讨论了土著遥感合作的潜在好处和挑战，并围绕这些方法有助于和解和非殖民化的方式在土著社区进行了更大规模的对话。解释它与现代 GPR 无标记坟墓调查的关系，并展示应奇普维恩草原原住民要求进行的调查结果。尽管本质上是地方性的，但我们讨论了土著遥感合作的潜在好处和挑战，并围绕这些方法有助于和解和非殖民化的方式在土著社区进行了更大规模的对话。解释它与现代 GPR 无标记坟墓调查的关系，并展示应奇普维恩草原原住民要求进行的调查结果。尽管本质上是地方性的，但我们讨论了土著遥感合作的潜在好处和挑战，并围绕这些方法有助于和解和非殖民化的方式在土著社区中进行了更广泛的对话。
