在英国的博物馆中,美洲原住民物质文化的积累是巨大的,具有重要的文化意义。根据对2017年至2019年期间参观英国博物馆展览和藏品的美国原住民游客的采访,该元素强调了当代与美国原住民游客和社区接触的最重大不足之处,确定了植根于收藏管理和展示精神的根本问题。然后,它探讨了为什么两个关键的危机,一个代表性和一个专业知识,一起加剧了这些问题,以及当这些危机与土著人在博物馆过程中对更大机构的需求发生冲突时,可能导致的关系和声誉的损害。最后一节直接应用这些经验教训,制定一个适应性强的政策文件,以帮助博物馆工作人员有效和尊重地管理他们与土著社区和收藏品的关系。
The accumulated collections of Native American material culture in museums in Britain are vast, and of critical cultural importance. Drawing on interviews with Indigenous American visitors to UK museum displays and collections between 2017 and 2019, this Element highlights the most significant inadequacies of contemporary engagement with Native American visitors and communities, identifying fundamental problems rooted in the ethos of collection management and display. It then explores why two critical crises, one of representation and one of expertise, are together exacerbating these problems, and the damage to relationships and reputation which can result when these crises collide with Indigenous demands for greater agency in museum processes. The final section applies these lessons directly, developing an adaptable policy document, to assist museum staff in effectively and respectfully managing their relationships with Indigenous communities and collections.
