Outstanding Review for Exhibit Catalog
The exhibit catalog "Living Our Cultures, Sharing Our Heritage: The First Peoples of Alaska" received an outstanding review by Aldona Jonaitis, former director of the Museum of the North, in the Spring/Fall 2011 issue of Museum Anthropology Review. She described it as “one of the finest recent publications on Native American art and culture. It is gorgeous, interesting, educational, and a model for how established major museums can work successfully with originating communities to create an exhibition and a catalog that replaces the troubled history of museums and Native people with a celebration of collaboration and cultural vitality.”
