During the twentieth century, American Indians across North America organized protests against traditional museum treatment of Native materials and the Native community. In response, due to public embarrassment, new laws, and an awakening of sensitivities, museums began to change their methods. Spirited Encounters provides a foundation for understanding museums, examines how museums collected Native materials, and explores protest as a fully American process of addressing grievances. Now that museums and American Indians must work together in the processes of repatriation, this book can help each side understand the other more fully.
