Museum pieces : toward the indigenization of Canadian museums  Cover Image Book Book

Museum pieces : toward the indigenization of Canadian museums / Ruth B. Phillips.

Summary:

The practices of Canadian museums to accommodate differences and inclusivity are 'indigenous" not only because they originate in Aboriginal activism but because they draw on a distinctively Canadian preference for compromise and tolerance for ambiguity. Phillips shows how changes in Indigenous art displays, curatorial voice, and authority stem from broad social, economic, and political forces outside the museums and moves beyond Canadian institutions and practices to discuss historically interrelated developments and exhibitions in the United States and other countries.
