Care, curation, and collaboration: Centering Native values in museum work

While the museum field continues to grapple with DEI issues and representation, Native peoples have been, and continue to, create models for relationship building, community engagement, exhibitions and interventions, and respectful care of ethnographic collections. This presentation by Information School Assistant Professor Miranda Belarde-Lewis (Zuni/Tlingit) provides personal examples of work, as well as highlights from around the US and Canada. The examples demonstrate that by centering Native values in the museum field, we can act ethically towards all peoples represented by museums.
