Collaboration Between Museums and Indigenous Partners
Thursday, June 22, 10:00 a.m. CT
The Houston Museum of Natural Science opened the new Hall of the Americas last year, after extensive collaborative work with an Indigenous Advisory Group, developing long-term relationships that continue beyond the exhibit preparations. Staff from the museum will share how the Indigenous Advisory Group provided guidance on all aspects of the exhibit planning, through a review process that succeeded in bringing everyone involved into a true partnership, ensuring that the Hall itself has an authentic Indigenous voice proclaiming the very important message: WE ARE STILL HERE.

Tribal Collaboration, Sovereignty, and Methodology: An Ndee (Apache) Perspective
Thursday, June 29, 2:00 p.m. CT
While current collaborative projects between museums and Tribes are increasingly emphasizing Tribal goals, many of the legacies of early interpretations and understandings of Indigenous cultures in the U.S. remain. A member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe, Dr. Laluk will help clarify Federal Indian Law, what terms like "sovereignty" mean to Tribal Nations, and how Tribes are asserting their own forms of sovereignty, leading to better understandings of Indigenous pasts, present, and futures.
