Jim Enote, Director, A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center Leigh Kuwanwisiwma, Director, Hopi Cultural Preservation Office Cynthia Chavez Lamar (Moderator), IARC Director, SAR
Native community representatives often work with museums to improve collections records and bring information back to the tribe. How do tribal representatives determine what information can be shared with the public and at what level? Where is the line between what should be kept internal vs. public knowledge—even in limited amounts—for the sake of preservation?
This series is open and FREE to the public. These are brown bag lunch events, so please feel free to bring a meal with you to the lectures. Reservations can be made by calling (505) 954-7205 or e-mailing iarc[at]sarsf.org.
