This article explores Indigenous perspectives on archaeology in Canada and the United States and the role of archaeologists in engaging with Indigenous communities. As part of our study, we interviewed Indigenous community members about their experiences in archaeology and their thoughts on the discipline. We analyzed each interview thematically to identify patterns of meaning across the dataset and to develop common themes in the interview transcripts. Based on the results of our analysis, we identified six themes in the data: (1) Euro-colonialism damaged and interrupted Indigenous history, and archaeology offers Indigenous community members an opportunity to reconnect with their past; (2) archaeological practices restrict access of Indigenous community members to archaeological information and archaeological materials; (3) cultural resource management (CRM) is outpacing the capacity of Indigenous communities to engage meaningfully with archaeologists; (4) the codification of archaeology through standards, guidelines, and technical report writing limits the goals of the discipline; (5) archaeological methods are inconsistent and based on individual, or company-wide, funding and decision-making; and (6) archaeological software offers a new opportunity for Indigenous communities and archaeologists to collaborate on projects.

本文探讨了加拿大和美国原住民对考古学的看法以及考古学家在与原住民社区合作中的作用。作为我们研究的一部分，我们采访了土著社区成员，了解他们在考古学方面的经历以及他们对这门学科的看法。我们对每次采访进行主题分析，以确定整个数据集中的含义模式，并在采访记录中制定共同主题。根据我们的分析结果，我们确定了数据中的六个主题：（1）欧洲殖民主义破坏和中断了原住民历史，考古学为原住民社区成员提供了与过去重新联系的机会； (2) 考古实践限制原住民社区成员获取考古信息和考古材料； (3) 文化资源管理 (CRM) 的速度超出了原住民社区与考古学家进行有意义的交流的能力； (4) 通过标准、指南和技术报告编写对考古学进行编纂，限制了学科的目标； （5）考古方法不一致且基于个人或公司范围的资金和决策； (6) 考古软件为原住民社区和考古学家在项目上进行合作提供了新的机会。
