Date Time USF anthropologists work to strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities University of South Florida anthropologists are taking a critical look at the past in an effort to build and strengthen future relationships with Indigenous communities in Florida and across the country. Efforts to more closely collaborate with Native American communities are certainly not new in the Department of Anthropology. For years, faculty members have worked on numerous research projects tied to Native American cultural sites and artifacts. This latest push, however, looks to renew that focus and develop wider-reaching initiatives that not only strengthen anthropological research at USF, but also provide positive outcomes for tribal communities and their members.
