Indigenous Perspectives: Interpretation and Stewardship of Cultural Heritage in Museums
A selection of relevant works from the Kemper’s collection will be on view from 4:00-5:00pm, and light refreshments will be served. A series of three lectures will follow from 5-6:45 p.m. Presentations will address the creation and use of cultural objects as integral parts of cultural lifeways within Native communities, the impact of NAGPRA rulings on Tribal repatriation efforts, and the role of encyclopedic museums in collecting, presenting, and interpreting art and cultural objects.
