Problematic Artifacts & Provenance - The Manitoba Museum holds nearly 3 million artifacts and specimens, many from First Nations, Inuit, and Matey communities, but some lack documented histories or provenance [6] - A Japanese samurai armor in the museum's collection lacks any documentation as to how it entered the collection, including donor name, craftspeople, cultural significance, or travel history [3][4] - Museums have historically been entangled in exploitation, colonialism, and racism, acting as repositories of conquest and violence, displaying stolen artifacts to uphold certain world views [8][9] Repatriation & Rematriation - Museums have a responsibility to return ceremonial, sacred, and other items to the First Nations, Inuit, and Matey communities from which they originated, globally [12] - Museums must incur the costs of finding descendant communities through donor records, archives, historic maps, and oral histories [13] - Museums should play a role in rematriation, standing beside First Nations, Inuit, and Matey communities as they reclaim their sacred relationships with lands and waters [14] Shared Authority & Collaboration - Museums should share authority with communities, working in partnership to amplify systemically excluded histories through co-creation, co-curation, co-authoring, and co-exhibiting [15] - "Nothing about us without us" should be at the forefront of all museum work, with communities telling their own stories [15] - Museums should collect with consent and work with communities to document their histories, so those histories can become teachers [17] Future of Museums - The transformation of museums is possible, creating spaces rooted in truth, grounded in repair, and welcoming to all [19] - Museums should uphold justice, make space for uncomfortable truths, and honor histories, celebrating indigenous ingenuity and contributions [16] - Visitors are seeking truth, looking for missing stories, and calling on museums to abandon neutrality and be allies in truth, reconciliation, and justice [17][18]
