This review examines the discourses and practices that have produced a lively literature on museum decolonization created by scholars of museum practices and curators. We consider the trajectory of decolonization efforts in museums, focusing especially on the care of Native North American heritage, with comparison to similar trajectories internationally. We begin with a discussion of decolonizing moments in theory and practice, with particular attention to 1990s critique of ethnographic museums and developments after the passage of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Following this discussion is a review of works on concerns regarding Native American representation and public displays, involvement in collections care, and the varied collaborations that are changing museum practices. The final section foregrounds the fluorescence of tribal museums and their contributions to the decolonization and indigenization of museums, as well as emerging paradigm shifts in both the anthropology of museums and anthropology in museums.

博物馆非殖民化：走向范式转变


这篇综述考察了博物馆实践学者和策展人创作的关于博物馆非殖民化的生动文献的话语和实践。我们考虑博物馆非殖民化努力的轨迹，特别关注北美原住民遗产的护理，并与国际上类似的轨迹进行比较。我们首先讨论理论和实践中的非殖民化时刻，特别关注 20 世纪 90 年代对民族志博物馆的批评以及美国原住民坟墓保护和归还法案 (NAGPRA) 通过后的发展。在这次讨论之后，我们回顾了有关美洲原住民的代表性和公共展示、参与收藏品管理以及正在改变博物馆实践的各种合作的作品。最后一部分突出了部落博物馆的荧光及其对博物馆非殖民化和本土化的贡献，以及博物馆人类学和博物馆人类学中正在出现的范式转变。
