Indigenizing Museums and the Move Toward
Decolonization: Successes and Ongoing Challenges (Amy Lonetree Lecture)
Thurs | Dec 11 | 3:00PM-4:30PM
Cross-Cultural Center Comunidad Room
Followed by a Reception
The relationship between Indigenous communities and mainstream museums has changed significantly in recent decades as a result of Indigenous activism and new museum theory and practice. These changes include the sharing of curatorial authority, collaborative partnerships, and efforts to decolonize museums. My research examines the current state of contemporary exhibition practices at both national and tribal museums. Central to my analysis is exploring how museums can serve as sites of decolonization through honoring Indigenous knowledge and worldview, and discussing the hard truths of colonization in exhibitions in an effort to promote healing and understanding.
