The American public bore witness to law enforcement using tear gas, rubber bullets, concussion grenades, and water cannons against protestors as winter temperatures in the region plunged below freezing. These images generated widespread public interest in Energy Transfer Partners’ proposed Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), a $3.8 billion, 1,172-mile-long pipe intended to carry 500,000 barrels of oil per day across the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Illinois. In North Dakota, the construction plans aimed to extend the pipeline upriver from Lake Oahe, the Standing Rock Sioux Nation’s only source of drinking water. The DAPL proposal thus sparked serious concerns about the contemporary state of Indigenous sovereignty, settler colonialism, and environmental racism. Drone Warriors: The Art of Surveillance and Resistance at Standing Rock takes up these concerns by revisiting the actions of the Water Protectors, the Native and non-Native protestors who opposed the proposed DAPL. This informative exhibit highlights how photographic drone operators Myron Dewey, Sean Turgent, Dean Dedman Jr., Brooke Johnson Waukau, and dozens of others turned to drone technology as an innovative response to the pipeline and its defenders. They produced videos and photographs of the pipeline construction and the militarized encampments housing Morton County police, National Guard, and DAPL security forces to document political and environmental transgressions. At the same time, they created powerful images of the landscape and the #NoDAPL Movement to tell their own narrative of the events. Entering the gallery space through the museum’s glass doors, museumgoers are met with tracking shots of theMni Sose, or theMissouri River, on a flat screen televisionmounted on the wall at eye level. To the left, a series of Dewey’s aerial photographs lines the walls, capturing the beauty of “Lakota ancestral lands, herds of bison grazing in the prairie, and the linkages of waterways,” according to a nearby panel. These opening images establish the landscape’s relationship to Indigenous culture as well as its natural beauty. As one moves through the exhibit, a visual story unfolds of this natural world under threat. For example, on other televisions mounted nearby, museumgoers seated on stools can take in aerial video of the buffalo “surrounded by twenty foot deep trenches and razor wire.” To be sure, the narrative of the endangered Lakota lands is a deeply moving one. At the same time, opening the exhibit with images of unpopulated land risks re-inscribing a colonial perspective that ignores the Indigenous communities who inhabit it, seeing it instead as empty and ripe for resource extraction. Perhaps in an effort to dampen this effect, a glass case nearby showcas","PeriodicalId":43404,"journal":{"name":"Museum Anthropology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/muan.12206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42463504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Field Museum facilitates interaction between community and institution, urging interested Filipina/o individuals from outside the museum to embrace stewardship of collections, thus becoming “co-curators.” With the active involvement of co-curators and museum professionals, an object collection becomes a site of heritage, benefiting from the combination of community knowledge and academic scholarship. We chronicle this museum/community relationship by interpreting a recent collaborative process: Filipina/o co-curators were asked to submit recommendations regarding new additions to the Field Museum's Philippine Heritage Collection in the summer of 2016. Discussions around this process illuminate the complex relationship between the Filipina/o community and the Field Museum. We conclude with recommendations for other institutions that wish to pursue a similar museum/community collaboration.</p>","PeriodicalId":43404,"journal":{"name":"Museum Anthropology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/muan.12200","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43815522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
