This article describes the 2004 summer field program, the Kashaya Pomo Interpretive Trail Project (KPITP), which is an extension of the Fort Ross Archaeological Project (FRAP). Both are collaborative projects involving UC Berkeley, the California Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Kashaya Pomo tribe. The project attempts to integrate the results of the research by FRAP on the multi-ethnic colony of Fort Ross and present this information to the broader public through the creation of a walkable interpretive trail within Fort Ross State Historic Park. The project itself did not self-consciously attempt to decolonize archaeology, but at a vantage point, the Kashaya Pomo Interpretive Trail Project and summer field school contributed to these goals through the operation of the field school, implementation of archaeological methods, and the ongoing process of collaboration with Kashaya Pomo tribal elders and council members. Here, the authors address how each aspect of the project has contributed to a form of scholarship that attempts to blend Kashaya ceremony with the science of archaeology. They also discuss how this project has provided a venue for the training of archaeologists and served as a model for collaborative research. In this dual capacity the project and field school have provided students with a rare chance to learn firsthand the nature of archaeological collaboration and practice decolonizing archaeology.
