On the latest episode of AnthroPuzzled, we sit down with Jessica Yaquinto, founder of Living Heritage Anthropology, co-founder of Heritage Lands Collective, and host of the Heritage Voices podcast. Jessica specializes in CRM ethnography and tribal consultation, helping build meaningful partnerships between Indigenous communities, government agencies, and organizations while preserving cultural knowledge and protecting places of deep significance.
Jessica explains how CRM ethnography differs from archaeology, highlighting the importance of documenting living cultural connections to landscapes through community-led interviews, collaborative research, and respectful tribal consultation. She shares how anthropology supports heritage preservation, why listening is one of the most valuable skills an anthropologist can develop, and how Indigenous perspectives can reshape the way we think about stewardship, history, and caring for elders. Jessica also discusses her journey into entrepreneurship, founding Living Heritage Anthropology, and the realities of building a career in this highly specialized field.
Listen now to explore CRM ethnography, tribal consultation, cultural resource management, Indigenous heritage preservation, entrepreneurship, and the many ways anthropology helps connect people, culture, and place.
