Heritage Voices

Heritage Voices, hosted by Jessica Yaquinto, explores the intersections of Indigenous heritage, archaeology, and cultural preservation. Each episode features conversations with Indigenous professionals, culture bearers, and allies working in heritage, language revitalization, tribal historic preservation, and collaborative archaeology. The show highlights Indigenous voices and perspectives in a field historically dominated by Western narratives. Whether you're a heritage professional, archaeologist, or simply passionate about inclusive storytelling, Heritage Voices offers meaningful insights into how Native communities are leading the way in preserving and interpreting their own histories.

The Intensive NAGPRA Summer Training and Education Program (INSTEP) - Ep 79

On today’s episode, Jessica chats with Jayne-Leigh Thomas (NAGPRA Director at Indiana University) and Chance Ward (NAGPRA Coordinator for History Colorado [although speaking here on his experiences as a private citizen]; Lakota- Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe) about the first Intensive NAGPRA Summer Training and Education Program (INSTEP) held last summer in Indiana. We talk about where the idea for this NAGPRA training came from, how it was developed, and what it was like to be part of it. We also talked about how they might change the program for future years, as well as what the two of them would like everyone to know about NAGPRA and its implementation. There’s some really important NAGPRA advice and specific recommendations throughout this episode, including a segment where we discuss how to best approach TSA when working on NAGPRA repatriations.
