Clare-Estelle,

As far as museums in the "Great White North" you may want to contact someone
at the Museum of Man and Nature in Winnipeg.  I recall an exhibit many many
moons ago about the Inuit.  Since they're pretty much the clearing house in
Manitoba as I recall you may want to look there.  

	To eliminate the obvious have you talked to someone at Indian and
Northern Affairs?

Good Luck,

	Christopher Reeves

Subject: Museums and Aboriginal Communities

Hello,

I am conducting some research into the relationship between museums and
Indigenous communities, and particularly the relationship between museums
and Inuit or Eskimo communities accross the Circumpolar North as part of my
master's of Musuem Studies Degree.  I am exploring the relationships
mainstream museums establish with Aboriginal communities in both southern
and Arctic contexts, and if there are any Inuit or Eskimo-run museums in
the circumpolar North, what their relationship is with local communities.
If anyone has any information on this topic, and in particular the names of
museums I could look into or knowledgeable people I could contact, I would
certainly appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Clare-Estelle Daitch
