When studying the culture of a group of people, challenges arise that may not be issues when studying other things. An example of this is ethnical considerations. You may have heard recently about Indigenous groups demanding that museums return artifacts that were taken without their ancestors’ permission. There are pros and cons to both sides. On one hand, isn’t a museum in a city more accessible, and therefore more people will learn about the artifacts? What about the recently recovered residential school graves; should the focus be studying or providing a proper burial? What about other cultural management issues, such as keeping or removing statues of historical figures? Discuss your thoughts on this topic in consideration of this week’s material and your experience.
