UBCLC Challenging Ideology: Looking at historical museum practices through an Indigenous lens Part 1

Please join this virtually for a presentation on UBCLC Challenging Ideology: Looking at historical museum practices through an Indigenous lens Part 1. As referenced in the Truth and Reconciliation’s call to action, museums and archives play a critical role in telling Canadian and Indigenous history, which has not always been accurately told in this country. To do this, museums and archives need to authentically represent the Indigenous voice in museum and archive spaces. In this series, we intend to intersect with Indigenous knowledge and explore Indigenous recommendations and current Indigenous practice used in museums and archives. This series is supported by a grant from the BC Museums Association, which presents the opportunity to focus on synergies and intersections of museums and archives. 

Speakers:

• Genevieve Hill, Collections Manager, BC Archaeology Collections, Royal BC Museum
• Melissa Adams, Librarian and Archivist, Union of BC Indian Chiefs
• Erica Hernández-Read, Head, Archives and Special Collections, University of Northern British Columbia
• Jordan Wilson, PhD Student, New York University, Independent curator
