DESCRIPTION:Dogs in North America have a complex evolutionary and cultural
  history. Dogs were brought by humans to North America at least 10\,000 ye
 ars ago\, where they dispersed widely and were bred and maintained by huma
 ns to serve different cultural functions\, many diverse examples of which 
 can be seen in the archaeological record. The repeated introduction of dog
 s into the Americas\, primarily within the last five hundred years by Euro
 pean colonialism\, had led to the decline and extinction of indigenous Nor
 th American dogs. However\, the cultural legacy of some of these dogs live
  on in Indigenous communities today and are an important part of their his
 tory and their cultural identity. I will talk about integrating Indigenous
  perspectives into my current palaeogenomic research on domestic dogs that
  come from Indigenous ancestral lands\, by active engagement with Indigeno
 us communities\, with the aim of establishing a lasting relationship that 
 will benefit local communities and the palaeogenomic field alike.\n\nRegis
