Les écoles de fouilles archéologiques au Nunavut

Les Inuit contribuent aux collections des musées depuis des siècles, d’abord en collectant des données ethnographiques pour les premiers explorateurs, puis pour les commerçants, les baleiniers et les fonctionnaires. Les Inuit ont également contribué aux collections en travaillant dans le domaine de l’archéologie en tant qu’assistants de terrain, archéologues et dans le cadre d’écoles de fouilles archéologiques. Depuis les années 1990 et jusqu’au début des années 2000, les écoles de fouilles archéologiques du Nunavut forment de jeunes Inuit aux méthodes de l’archéologie de terrain et à la collaboration avec les communautés. S’appuyant sur les écoles de fouilles d’Iglulik dans les années 1990, le travail archéologique avec les communautés inuit du Nunavut depuis 1999 a favorisé les concepts de l’archéologie autochtone dès le début de l’histoire des écoles de fouilles archéologiques au Nunavut. Dans cet article, Krista Ulujuk Zawadski et Ericka Chemko partagent leurs expériences sur les écoles de fouilles archéologiques organisées au Nunavut par l’Inuit Heritage Trust Inc. (IHT) de 2002 à 2008 à travers des discussions et des réflexions personnelles, offrant un aperçu des écoles d’archologie, et des contributions inuit à l’archéologie et à l’anthropologie contemporaines de l’Arctique.Inuit have contributed to museum collections for centuries, first through ethnographic collecting for early explorers, and later for traders, whalers, and government officials.

Inua

"INUA: Inuit Nunangat Ungammuaktut Atautikkut (Inuit Moving Forward Together) refers to the life force of all things. As an acronym, it also speaks to our collective vision for Qaumajuq as a place for Inuit to work together towards an exciting new future in the arts, foregrounded by our shared culture and language." -- Publisher's website

Archaeology Field Schools in Nunavut

Inuit have contributed to museum collections for centuries, first through ethnographic collecting for early explorers, and later for traders, whalers, and government officials. Inuit have also contributed to collections through archaeological work as field assistants, archaeologists and through field schools. Archaeological field schools in Nunavut have trained young Inuit in archaeological field methods and community collaboration since the 1990s and into the early 2000s. Building on the field schools in Iglulik in the 1990s, archaeological work with Inuit communities in Nunavut since 1999 fostered the concepts of Indigenous archaeology early in the history of field schools in Nunavut. In this paper, Krista Ulujuk Zawadski and Ericka Chemko share their experiences on field schools that took place in Nunavut as organized by the Inuit Heritage Trust Inc.

Media content created for Museums without Walls: An interactive resource exploring connections between Orkney and the Hudson's Bay Company

During the summer of 2021 the Stromness Museum together with the University of Dundee launched a pilot project to explore around 80 objects in their collections relating to Orkney’s history with the Hudson’s Bay Company in Canada. Our aim was to design an interactive online resource which brought together 3D scans and photographs of the museum’s collections together with insights and stories from different perspectives, including Orcadian, Cree, Métis and Inuit voices. What resulted was a compelling and diverse variety of material offering fresh insights and contemporary connections to this complex period of shared history.  The resource is freely available online and as a touchscreen exhibit inside the Stromness Museum in Orkney. https://www.stromnessmuseum.org.uk/sites/stromnessmuseum.org.uk/files/hbc/index.html Data and file overview The archived material consists of 3D scanned objects from the Museum’s collections in .glb format; photographs of objects and family photographs relating to personal accounts featured in the resource; soundbites from various people interviewed for the resource about their family heritage and the Hudson’s Bay Company; curator written blurbs; and artwork relating to the resource interface. Sharing and access information The material (with the exception of a walk-through screen capture video) is not publicly accessible for download and re-use without requested consent. This is because much of the materials concern Indigenous objects, stories and imagery and we do not wish for this to be re-used elsewhere without prior consent from the individuals represented. All material is available to view (but not download and re-use) on the Stromness Museum’s website: (https://www.stromnessmuseum.org.uk/sites/stromnessmuseum.org.uk/files/hbc/index.html) Methodological information Our approach for generating material as part of this project followed a collaborative co-curation methodology which facilitated curation of the resource to be led by the contributions and engagements of the individuals and communities we worked with.
