Red Hoop Talk EP 63: FROM REPATRIATION TO REMATRIATION: Honoring the Ancestors & Their Seeds
This is a special presentation with special guests Shannon Martin and David Michener! From the 2020-6th Annual Repatriation Conference titled FROM REPATRIATION TO REMATRIATION: Honoring the Ancestors and Their Seeds – From the 2020 6th Annual Repatriation Conference.
Featuring: SONYA ATALAY, Anishinaabe-Ojibwe, Wabizheshi/Pine Martin Clan, and Associate Professor, Anthropology Department, University of Massachusetts Amherst;
SHANNON MARTIN, Lynx Clan and an enrolled citizen of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians and a descendant of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, and former Director of the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways; and
DAVID MICHENER, University of Michigan, Curator, University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum.
Building on the efforts of those who fought to establish NAGPRA and who have worked to bring Ancestors and cultural belongings home over the past 30 years, we now focus on the future. Sonya, Shannon and David will discuss essential strategies for how to engage with reluctant institutions. Particularly, they will discuss strategies for moving institutions toward an understanding that relationships with Tribes, built and strengthened through NAGPRA work, are generative and can lead to new and innovative Tribally designed and led partnerships. Out of those partnerships cutting edge research is allowing for the repatriation and rematriation of heirloom seeds.
