Working With Collections
Requests to work with collections from Nunavut must respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples, as outlined in:
To uphold these rights, we emphasize the importance of Indigenous Data Governance. Research involving Nunavut’s cultural heritage must:
-
Include Inuit perspectives and knowledge
-
Align with Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s (ITK) National Inuit Strategy for Research (NISR)
-
Follow the Circumpolar Inuit Protocols for Ethical and Equitable Engagement
-
Adhere to any specific protocols and guidelines established at the community and regional levels
For guidance on implementing UNDRIP in heritage work, please refer to the Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums report, commissioned by the Canadian Museums Association.
