Call to Action # 67: Museums and Archives (67-70)

CMA Working Group to respond to C2A # 67

May 1, 2018

At the annual Canadian Museums Association (CMA) conference in Vancouver, fifteen representatives of Canada’s museums and indigenous cultural institutes met to discuss a path forward to guide the CMA in responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Call to Action # 67. The goal is to research and review all aspects of museum work — from reconciliation, repatriation, representation, voice, artists’ rights, ways of knowing, participation, to funding, staffing, governance, and more — in an effort to support museums and cultural centres in seeking positive change and growth with respect to indigenous perspectives and practices.
