Abstract
Abstract Historically, Indigenous perspectives on the past have been more absent than present in South American archaeology, as Indigenous peoples were denied and excluded from archaeological practice and interpretations since the first research attempts in the end of nineteenth century. In recent years important changes in the relationships between archaeologists and Indigenous peoples in South America occurred. Within the discipline there has been a strong process of reflexivity and openness of research agendas toward Indigenous demands. In this chapter we focus on the most visible theoretical and methodological trends about how to build an “archaeology otherwise”—decolonized, thoughtful, and critical—an archaeology that points to horizontal relations with Indigenous peoples and works in collaboration and coproduction of knowledge, widening the range of perspectives on the past to include Indigenous views and understandings but also working toward their direct involvement and decision-making related to the past.
