2005 “Ma’iingan Is Just a Misspelling of the Word Wolf”: A Case for Teaching Culture through Language. Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 36(1): 43-56, American Anthropological Association
In this article about Native American education the author describes her research into culture-based curricula and knowledge systems at four K-12 schools in Wisconsin and Minnesota. She argues that teaching culture through the Ojibwe language, rather than teaching about Ojibwe culture in English, allows students to be a part of their heritage, helps them understand relationships between objects, and has a long-term effect on culture and language revitalization.

2015 “The Minister will tell the nation”: the role of the media for archaeology in Mauritius. World Archaeology, 47(2): 285-298, Taylor & Francis LTD
This article discusses how media can be used to benefit archaeology. Through four specific case studies on the island of Mauritius, the author argues that archaeologists should be in charge of producing their media and controlling how archaeology is portrayed.
