Abstract

The Erie are considered an ‘extinct’ or ‘dispersed’ Northern Iroquoian group that previously resided on the Niagara Frontier, a small portion of what researchers termed “Iroquoia”. The Erie are not entirely understood, and the Seneca Nation has assumed stewardship over their cultural materials. With the new revisions of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) in 2024, archaeology as a whole must grapple with these changes and reevaluate the discipline. I propose that Indigenous Archaeologies would aid in bridging the gap between archaeologists and Indigenous communities in light of the new regulations.
