Collaborative projects in archaeology are challenging to develop, but they have the potential to reap great benefits and satisfaction for the participants, especially so for Indigneous peoples. The September issue of the Society for American Archaeology’s SAA Archaeological Record, a quarterly publication, contains a special forum on International Collaborations, edited by Kisha Supernaut. The forum highlights current and recent collaborative projects in Tanzania, Australia, New Caledonia, and Canada. IPinCH has a strong presence in the collection, both directly and indirectly: three of the six articles focus on IPinCH or IPinCH-funded community based initiatives (Ngaut Ngaut and Inuvialuit), while two others are co-written by IPinCH team members (Ian Lilley, Claire Smith). The collection is available for on-line reading or free download at: www.saa.org/AbouttheSociety/Publications/TheSAAArchaeologicalRecord/tabid/64/Default.aspx
