Decolonizing Curation: Addressing the Global Heritage Repository Crisis in the Age of UNDRIP

Our research cluster will bring together First Nation and local communities, archive, museum and repository representatives, practising archaeologists, heritage management officers, Indigenous/First Nations scholars and allies across BC, the Americas and beyond to re-imagine the future of data and cultural heritage curation locally and globally and develop solutions for change. Our cluster will address critical issues facing cultural heritage repositories via an ethos of practice guided by Indigenous and other descent community perspectives and moves toward data and cultural heritage sovereignty for First Nations and local communities.
