*21st Century Collecting Legacies of the Circumpolar North*
This panel invites participants to consider current collecting practices of
indigenous heritage items from the circumpolar north and collecting
strategies for the future. The artifacts, photographs, audio recordings,
and documents that make up the historical items of museums, cultural
centers, archives, libraries and other formal and informal repositories are
not only valued for their individual aesthetic, technical, and textual
content, but also, because as groups of items, they reflect the events and
encounters faced by their makers and users. What aspects of life in the
north today will 21st century collections represent and what issues ought
they to represent? How are issues of health and wellness,
self-determination, climate change, globalization and other contemporary
issues shared among circumpolar indigenous communities represented in the
items heritage institutions and repositories house for the future? What
examples effectively demonstrate challenges facing circumpolar residents
today and their approaches for resolution? What kind of encounters lead to
contemporary collecting and what kinds of encounters ought to lead to
collecting? How are the cultural contexts of heritage items, reflecting
indigenous values and relationships, documented? Given the ties between
scholarship, indigenous communities and organizations, and heritage
institutions, this is a question requiring input from people with diverse
backgrounds and experiences. We welcome contributions from all interested
stakeholders, including but not limited to cultural bearers, scholars,
activists, artists, and staff of repository institutions and indigenous
organizations.
