Acquiring and Exhibiting A Nuu-Chah-Nulth Ceremonial Curtain.
- Authors
Hoover, Alan; Inglis, Richard
- Abstract
The article presents a case study regarding the exhibition as well as the public programming of a Nuu-Chah-Nulth Ceremonial Curtain under the collaboration of the Royal British Columbia Museum (RBCM) and the Native tribe of origin. It explores the current literature on the representation of Native peoples through museums. Results of the study showed that museums must be prepared to relinquish authority in dealing with Native Peoples because Native people value their culture.
