ABSTRACT
Brandy E. George started working in cultural resource management (CRM) as an archaeologist and First Nations liaison for a consulting archaeology company after finishing her M. A. degree in 2004. She wanted to learn about field methods and about how to be both a cultural resource management supervisor and a liaison. She received her research license in 2006 and her professional license in 2007. Her role as First Nations liaison has been to ensure that she was in a position to help Native people to understand and be more comfortable with archaeology. She saw archaeology providing a means for Native people to add to their histories and have something to show when telling oral histories and legends from a personal perspective. Her advice to up-and-coming Indigenous archaeologists is to go to conferences, seek out people who have published on topics relating to Indigenous archaeology, or who are at universities or in government jobs that have programs they are interested in.
