Crises in Archaeology: The 2016 Presidential Election and the DAPL

Indiana Jones: Myth, Reality and 21st Century Archaeology

Dec 7 2016 • 57 mins

The 2016 presidential election and the Dakota Access Pipeline are two key issues facing American archaeology today. Join Dr Schuldenrein as he explores how the Trump administration and a republican controlled congress may impact archaeology and historic preservation, including threats to federal legislation. Currently, cultural and environmental protections are at the forefront of the protests levied by the Standing Rock Sioux and their advocates against the Dakota Access Pipeline, Energy Transfer Partner’s 1,172-mile crude oil pipeline threatening water quality and native sites in the Dakotas. Though the recent easement denial order by the Army Corp of Engineers has successfully halted construction of the DAPL for the time being, Trump’s alleged infrastructure plan may again force the issue come January. Listen in as Dr. Schuldenrein takes on archaeology’s role in the DAPL controversy and what we can expect to happen to the pipeline in 2017.
