The effects of repatriation on the relationship between the Glenbow Museum and the Blackfoot people

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: In 1990, Glenbow began returning sacred objects to various First Nations. As the process developed, we came to understand that First Nations people consider these to be living and to be vital for maintaining balanced relationships with the non-human world. The effects that these objects have had on a variety of other relationships (Native/museum; museum/museum; Native/Native) suggests that the items become important for everyone who handles, possesses and cares for them. This paper explores the dimensions of these relationships.
