Details
The Institute for Human Science and Culture Speaker Series features Indigenous experts and scholars discussing the harmful historical collecting practices that brought ancestral belongings into museums and private collections; efforts to reconnect collection items to their communities of origin; and the reparative work of reclaiming communities’ cultural objects.
Courtney Little Axe, the University of Montana's NAGPRA Repatriation Coordinator, will discuss what Indigenizing collections care means and what successful collaboration between institutions and tribes could look like.
The Institute Speaker Series is presented in partnership with Summit Metro Parks.
