Anna Antoniou

Dr. Anna Antoniou is an Anthropologist Archaeologist who uses community-engaged methods to mobilize academic research so that it best serves Indigenous communities’ interests, needs, and priorities. In partnership with the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe and the Chinook Indian Nation in Willapa Bay, Washington, her research reconstructs past subsistence systems to support these communities in revitalizing traditional foodways, achieving food sovereignty, and reclaiming rights to local food sources. In doing so, she explores how archaeology can speak to the resilience of communities in the past and amplify the regenerative efforts of descendant communities today.
