For Kathryn (and anyone else interested in this subject):


Try Memoirs of the Queensland Museum (Australia) special issue - 'Museums
and Citizenship: A Resosurce Book' which contains a chapter by Donna
McAlear on this issue : 'First Peoples, Museums and Citizenship'.  McAlear
deals specifically with cultural heritage and relationships between museums
and first peoples with focus on comparison of Australian and Canadian
practices and case studies from each.
