“…Collaborate. Collaboration has arguably become the most popular ideology for public participation in our era (Cronin & Ostergren, 2007;Johnson et al, 2005;Selin, Schuett, & Carr, 2010). In fact, some natural resource agencies are realizing collaborative management is their only hope at developing lasting policies supported by the community (Selin, Schuett, & Carr, 1997).…”

“…Collaboration can be especially difficult when there is a history of distrust between stakeholder groups, or when there is a perceived gap in decision-making influence (Selin & Chavez, 1995;Selin & Mendoza, 2013). Undeniably, distrust and acrimony is a repeated theme throughout tribal-Federal relations (Johnson, Heald, McHugh, Brown, & Kaminitz, 2005;Harjo, 2014). Collaboration also proves difficult when groups cannot agree on basic facts (Selin & Mendoza, 2013;Lute & Gore, 2014).…”

“…Prior to its opening in 2004, the curators for the National Museum of the American Indian collaborated extensively with tribal authorities (Johnson et al, 2005). Curators sought feedback and input from various tribal representatives to ensure displays accurately portrayed the history of the artifacts (Johnson et al, 2005). The managers of the museum believe Native people are the experts, and felt it was appropriate that they be involved from in the design and implementation of the exhibits (Johnson et al, 2005).…”

Interpreting Consultation: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Native American Perceptions of Engagement Practices

Federal land management agencies are legally required to consult Native American tribes when administering policies that may have tribal implications. Many laws and directives regarding consultation exist, yet agreement on its practical application and management implications remain ambiguous. An ongoing consultation conundrum is occurring in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), where the US Fish & Wildlife Service (Service) has proposed to remove the grizzly bear from the Endangered Species List. Several tribal groups residing within or maintaining cultural ties to the region have contested the movement. The grizzly bear controversy has exposed larger issues implicit to consultation, such as tribal sovereignty and the overall federal-tribal relationship. The purpose of this research is to evaluate perceptions and practices of government-to-government consultation from the perspectives of tribal and Service representatives. Federal policies on consultation were reviewed using a document analysis method to determine which theoretical form of public participation they require of agencies. To understand consultation perceptions, interviews were conducted with Service and tribal officials; the transcripts were content analyzed. The results indicated several process and relational-themed barriers impeding consultation. These include financial issues, insufficient agency training, disrespect, and racial concerns. Suggestions to improve the consultation relationship posited by the respondents included increasing agency training, earlier inclusion in the decision-making process, and meeting on or near tribal lands. Based on the results of this research, coupled with findings in the public participation literature and agency best practices, an emergent model of tribal engagement is proposed. This research will help the Service improve consultations, increase trust, and continue to repair historic wounds with Native Nations.

Has the professional conservation of museum collections, centered on safeguarding tangible materials, changed any of its practices in keeping with the transformation of museums themselves in the postcolonial context? This chapter discusses conservation in the many contemporary museums which now focus more on the needs of people and less on the needs of collections. Core conservation values are illustrated, and developments in theory and practice are discussed in relation particularly to the Canadian context and to First Nations perspectives and challenges. Direct quotations from Indigenous people illustrate these viewpoints. Discussion in this chapter also focuses on developments and trends in the conservation profession in response to changes in both internal museum and external global contexts.

Conservation Theory and Practice: Materials, Values, and People in Heritage Conservation

Conservation, as an emerging discipline, is mutually constituted with the heritage institutions in which it is practiced. Professional conservators have been amending the focus of their work, from attending to the material preservation of heritage spaces, places, and objects, toward the values that people have for their cultural heritage. This chapter describes an alternative conservation product, which is entangled within the multiple interactions between objects and people developed during the conservation event. This reflects a shift in focus from the materials from which conservation objects are composed, to the aspirations of the people who are affected by the conservation of their heritage. This challenges conventional heritage conservation practice, by privileging a community's cultural systems over universalized concepts of heritage. As a result, conservation practice requires principles, policies, and guidelines that help conservators to engage people in decision‐making about their heritage. New frameworks for understanding conservation practice enable creative and diverse solutions within heritage conservation. This is described in this chapter in terms of materials‐, values‐, and peoples‐based approach to conservation. This allows heritage conservation to address the social issues of the present and engage the future, rather than merely seeking to fix the past. In so doing, it validates conservation responses that seek to incorporate the multiple ways that people care for and use their own cultural heritage.
