I understand that the Burke Museum is considering developing a CDROM on North West Coasts Natives. I know that similar projects have been considered by museums in British Columbia, but major ethical issues have arisen. The big problems is that ownership of the symbols, designs, songs, let alone the artifacts are still claimed by many of the First Peoples. I realize that other media have been used to disseminate this material in the past, but once it is digitalized, control would become next to impossible. I would be interested to know how the Burke is dealing with this issue and how other institutions are dealing with it. -- Lee Boyko Sooke Region Museum [log in to unmask]
