"On this national celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day Advances in Archaeological Practice highlights a selection of articles to share work conducted with Indigenous people in the Americas and globally. These articles provide examples of designing and implementing field work with descendent communities, respecting belongings and places, educating people, and caring for data. Authors show how they work to honor sovereignty and protect heritage and people. And, they realize, there is much more work to do - these are a few footsteps on the path to future practices." Sarah Herr, Editor
