BCMA Podcast: NAGPRA and Consent-based Curation

Join our host Lorenda and SGaan Kwahagang James McGuire, Collections & Engagement Coordinator at Saahlinda Naay – the Haida Gwaii Museum, for a conversation about the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Museums must prioritize consent-based curation. Consider how your organization approaches repatriation and truth-telling.
