| Summary: | In 1992 the Task Force on Museums and First Peoples, which was co-sponsored by the Assembly of First Nations and the Canadian Museums Association, published a report which examined outstanding issues between Canadian museums and native peoples and made recommendations for resolving these issues within collaborative partnerships. This paper outlines the background to the Task Force report and discusses its implications for museum anthropology with specific reference to the traditional activities of research, collecting, interpretation and advocacy. Dans son rapport publié en 1992, le Groupe de travail sur les musées et les Premières Nations, fruit de l′effort conjoint de l′Assemblée des Premières Nations et de l′Association des musées canadiens, se penche sur les questions non résolues qui opposent les musées canadiens et les peuples autochtones et formule des recommandations quant au règlement éventuel de ces questions au moyen d′efforts communs. Ce document retrace l′évolution du rapport du Groupe de travail et analyse les conséquences de celui-ci pour l′anthropologie muséale, et particulièrement pour les activités traditionnelles que sont la recherche, la collection, l′interprétation et la défense des intérêts. |
