Traditional academic or curatorial associations with North American Indians--treating them as informants, subjects, students, or specimens--is no longer sufficient because these associations imply unequal relations with anthropologists and curators in the superior position. Indians now want, expect, and demand equality; and new relationships are therefore evolving between Indians and anthropologists and museums. One obvious development is the resource bank relationship in which anthropologists and museums become resource centers for Indians. One British Columbia museum, for example, devotes a major portion of its research resources to the documentation of contemporary Indian ceremonials, makes results available to Indian families, and loans ceremonial objects for use at potlatches. Other museums co-sponsor programs and exhibitions with Indian organizations. During the past 10 years many Indian communities have opened their own museums and cultural centers. Non-native museums are beginning to exhibit Indian work as fine art on a par with the other fine art of the world and to exhibit contemporary Indian art in the same way as contemporary white art. These changes introduce many questions and problems for anthropologists and museums. As Indian intellectuals regain control over their own images and destinies, they will claim as well the right to provide the answers and solutions. (JHZ)
