Respecting the Sacred Power of Indigenous Collections and Museum Staff
Author(s): Dorothy Lippert
Year: 2024
Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Indigenous cultural protocols impact consultation with museums in numerous ways. Tribal perspectives on feminine power that is most evident during menstruation can challenge non-Native ways of working with museum collections. This poster will discuss ways in which museum staff negotiate unfamiliar cultural practices during tribal consultation. Respect for tribal belonging in museum collections can lead to respect for museum staff as well.
