Abstract
Drawing on traditional Indigenous knowledge and teachings, this chapter weaves together the key themes and important points raised in the prior chapters of this edited volume. Readers are asked to consider decolonial research futures for archaeology and other areas of scholarship that are based on a set of values, principles, and ethics that are heart-centered and informed by indigenous science practices such as storywork, relationality, respect, kindness, empathy, compassion, care, and patience.
