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 -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Clare-Estelle Daitch Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 3:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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.
