Research, protocols and Nation-to-Nation relations: A discussion on Indigenous research and the presence of cultural objects within colonial institutions

As part of the Umitemieu project, we are hosting a conversation on the presence of Indigenous cultural objects in museums and reflecting on the positionality of Indigenous researchers in colonial institutions.

Umitemieu is an initiative of McCord Museum, UHU Labos Nomades and Concordia’s Office of Community Engagement to engage Indigenous communities in conversations about cultural objects using innovative digital technology.

How can you participate? Attend the discussion in person (note, there is a maximum of 25 audience members permitted in the space) or online by registering for the Zoom webinar or watching live on 4th Space's YouTube channel.
