Résumé
In 1925, Beatrice Blackwood of the University of Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum took thirty-three photographs of Kainai people on the Blood Indian Reserve in Alberta as part of an anthropological project. In 2001, staff from the museum took copies of these photographs back to the Kainai and worked with community members to try to gain a better understanding of their perspectives on the images. 'Pictures Bring Us Messages' is about that process, about why museum professionals and archivists must work with such communities, and about some of the considerations that need to be addressed when doing so.
Notes
The photographs and their contexts: Kainai history -- Anthropological contexts -- Working together -- Reading the photographs -- The past in the present: community conclusions -- Moving forward: institutional implications -- Conclusions.
