Book Chapter
The Intersection of Museums and Communities
2014
Overview
This chapter discusses the developing relationships between museums and the local and national communities for whose artefacts they are responsible. It also discusses the notion of controversy in the museum context. The larger museums in Aotearoa New Zealand are also seeking to be the focal point for Mori communities. The tribal museums, or Mori marae museums, are intended to act as both a focal point for activities and a means of preserving and interpreting the collection for young Mori and non-Mori. When the Museum of New Zealand (MONZ) reopened on 14 February 1998, as Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand, it was not only to a new building and location but also with new status for Mori heritage. Indigenous values and ways of curating are now influencing Western ways of working with museum artefacts. The community has an important role, but they need to share dialogue with the museum expertise.
This chapter provides a set of practical recommendations, or principles, to support curriculum development in heritage education. It explores the concept of principles for incorporating values and raising awareness. It advocates this approach for respecting cultural heritage, so linking previous discussions on ethics and values, and seeks to apply it to specific intracultural and intercultural contexts. The chapter deals with the presentation of an original Taxonomy for Respecting Heritage and Values, and offers some examples of potential intended learning outcomes (ILOs). The idea of partnership is also strongly represented in kaupapa Mori, the principles and ideas that provide a foundational philosophy for appropriate actions. Grounded within Mori society, with links to the Treaty of Waitangi, Kaupapa Maori is a discourse that has emerged and is legitimated from within the Maori community'. In the design of formal learning programmes, it is also necessary to ensure measurable and reliable attainment of the intended learning.
