This talk will discuss the Enduring Objects project, a collaborative project between the University of Regina, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) and First Nations groups in Saskatchewan that identifies the biographies and changing meanings of objects in the Stanley Collection – one of the RSM’s founding ethnographic collections. The talk will discuss how museums in Canada have addressed the TRC’s calls to action, argue for the use of “object biographies” in order to facilitate reconciliation and present some initial findings from the project.

The tool can help you to generate business plans for your museum, gallery, cultural or heritage project. As part of Barker Langham’s commitment to supporting the recovery and re-imagining of the sector we are making it available as a free resource.

A film by Sawyer Mayne Morris, “Finders Keepers” is a documentary film that features interviews and conversations with museum professionals and Indigenous Elders about the importance of repatriation and the changing necessity of museums to support it.
