title = "Nunalleq, Stories from the Village of Our Ancestors: Co-designing a multivocal educational resource based on an archaeological excavation",
abstract = "In 2017 the Nunalleq Project initiated the co-design of a digital educational resource for schoolchildren in the Yukon-Kuskokwim region, that curates the story of the archaeological excavations in a way which engages with Yup{\textquoteright}ik ways of knowing and traditional oral storytelling. Here we present an account of an archaeological outreach project which creatively unites science and history with traditional knowledge and contemporary engagements. Co-creation of the Nunalleq educational resource revealed the diverse ways in which people connect to the past, sometimes expected, sometimes surprising. In particular, the project made space for a younger generation of Yup{\textquoteright}ik who are forging new relationships with their heritage inspired by the archaeology from Nunalleq through traditional dance, art and shared experience. Ultimately, this article explores codesign as a means to illuminate the processes of interpretation from varied perspectives and worldviews with the aim of better understanding how the methods we use frame the knowledge we create.",
