A federal decree is forcing museums across the country to shut down exhibits and begin the process of returning indigenous artifacts. Reports show two Seattle institutions: The Burke Museum and the Seattle Art Museum, are taking steps towards repatriation.
Community organizer and indigenous woman Colleen Echohawk tells FOX 13 she’s encouraged by the news."People who love museums, they shouldn’t be afraid, and they shouldn’t be upset about this. They should be excited," remarked Echohawk. "Give them the opportunity to take them back." As CEO of tribally-owned Eighth Generation, Echohawk is on a mission to end the cultural appropriation of indigenous art.
So many of the things taken from the native community are family items," explained Echohawk. "Many of them are incredibly sacred."The moral quandary surrounding the rightful ownership of these cultural treasures has intensified in recent years, prompting international conversations about stolen artifacts.
