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.

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.
