Description
Discusses how decreased funding for museums and art galleries has lead to an increased effort to secure Indigenous art in order to acquire grants. Uses Jimmie Durham as a case study and an examination of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 to illustrate how the art community's haste to secure Indigenous art has allowed those with a fraudulent identity to benefit.
Goal of document is to help clarify what protocols are, their uses, and how they can be developed by communities and local organizations to address issues of access, control and ownership of Indigenous knowledge.
Lists works written by Indigenous authors published between 2000 and 2018. Focuses on substantial books, articles and book chapters on original primary historical research, research methodology and historiography.
