Kisha Supernant, MA, PhD

Director
Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology, University of Alberta, Canada

Dr. Kisha Supernant (Métis/British/Papaschase Cree) is the Director of the Institute of Prairie and Indigenous Archaeology and an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Alberta. An award-winning teacher, researcher, and writer, her research with Indigenous communities (including Métis and First Nations) in western Canada explores how archaeologists and communities can build collaborative research relationships. She leads the Exploring Métis Identity Through Archaeology (EMITA), a collaborative research project which takes a relational approach to exploring the material past of Métis communities, including her own family, in western Canada. Recently, she has been increasingly engaged in using remote sensing technologies to locate and protect unmarked burials at the request of First Nations communities in Alberta and Saskatchewan. She is a member of the Board of Directors of the Indigenous Heritage Circle, an Indigenous-led national group working to support Indigenous cultural heritage.
