Think of your favorite museum. How is the museum layed out? Who or what does the museum give space to? What is exhibited? Where are said items from and how were they obtained? War, violence, and theft underlie the history of museums in addition to the artifacts that lie within them — a colonial undercurrent that is only beginning to be addressed in the present day.

In this episode, join Hope and Jon as they discuss cultural repatriation and how black and brown people can reclaim their own narratives in these institutional spaces as they reimagine them with Debra Yepa-Pappan, artist and Native Community Engagement Coordinator at the Field Museum for the Native Truths Exhibition.
