November 21, 2014 In this episode, Sarah Carr-Locke, Assistant Director of the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, chats about her Ph.D. research, which explores how Indigenous peoples and museums are working together to represent Indigenous heritage.
“Those representations in museums, in exhibits, are the intellectual property of Indigenous peoples; when you tell a story about someone and you create an image of someone, that can be seen as part of their intellectual property so they really have the right to participate in manufacturing and creating those exhibits and stories about themselves.”
Sarah also explores the concept of ownership, discusses the nature of IPinCH, addresses the complexity of inspiration vs. appropriation, and more.
Sarah Carr-Locke is an IPinCH Associate, a former IPinCH Fellow, and a former Student Representative on the IPinCH Steering Committee. She is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Archaeology at Simon Fraser University. Read more about Sarah and her work on her IPinCH profile.
