Discover how a single opportunity can transform a life - and connect cultures across the globe. In this inspiring talk, Dr. Dale Simpson, ECC Instructor of Archaeology, discusses his journey from an international field school to working alongside descendant communities on Rapa Nui and reveals the power of archaeology to build bridges, preserve heritage, and amplify local voices.
