CMA Moved to Action: Small Museums Toolkit now available

The anticipated Canadian Museums Association Small Museums Toolkit is now available for download.

This workbook is designed to provide guidance to support Indigenous self-determination where only one or a few are taking on this work. It is divided into four sections, repatriation, engagement, governance, and operations, that provide step-by-step support. As an interactive workbook, there is also space for notes to reflect and record your progress, as well as links to relevant resources, recommended case studies, and crowd-sourced solutions to some common hurdles.

Small museums are both uniquely challenged and positioned to support Indigenous self-determination and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). With few staff and minimal resources, small museums must be strategic. But, as they are often community gathering spaces, small museums can and do build strong relationships across communities.
