Looking Backward and Moving Forward: Expedition, Collecting, and Anthropology in Northern Canada is a senior thesis presentation. This research focused on analysis of change and continuity in anthropological theory as shown through historic and contemporary practices in Northern Canada. Examination of collecting during the Stefansson-Anderson Expedition (1908-1912) and changes in anthropological practices during the twentieth century shed light on contemporary collaborative methodology in the southwestern Yukon, Canada. Collaborative practice is a growing consideration within archaeology. The way that this is enacted at specific field sites provides important information for other archaeologists. Biography: Tia Ray, Navajo, is a senior Archaeology and History and Science joint concentrator at Harvard College.
