Working with Indigenous Collections at the Canadian Museum of History

Since the 1992 Task Force Report on Museums and First Peoples findings were released, the Canadian Museum of History has taken several steps to address key issues concerning working relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities. Ways to address training, repatriation, access to and care of materials, engagement and content pertaining to exhibitions have been developed with an eye on best practices. This session will introduce the strengths, challenges and outcomes in carrying this work forward. Moderator: Linda Grussani, Aboriginal Art, Canadian Museum of History;

Panelists: Kelly Cameron, Collections Analyst, Repatriation and Indigenous Relations; Jameson Brant, RBC Aboriginal Training Program in Museum Practices; Penny Pine, Ethnographic Collections, Canadian Museum of History.
