Indigenous Communities and Museum Collections provides the first contextualized study of a heritage assemblage, over time, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. Proposing a method for indigenous engagement and making recommendations when forging relationships based around indigenous cultural heritage, the book shows how to negotiate power and authority within these assemblages. By doing this and acknowledging and communicating our difficult histories, Horwood argues that we can move from collaborative approaches to shared authority and indigenous self-determination in the museum sphere and progress the task of decolonising the museum.
