Grounded in the fact that Gunai Kurnai people have never ceded
sovereignty, the text reorients dominant temporal and colonial
approaches of museum studies to document and theorise Gunai Kurnai
self-presentation and community engagement in the Krowathunkooloong
Keeping Place. Researched and co-authored by the Cultural Manager
of the Keeping Place, Gunai Kurnai Monero Ngarigo man Robert
Hudson, and white Historian Shannon Woodcock, the book traces the
temporal, social and cultural considerations of the Elders who
curated the permanent exhibition in the early 1990s. Discussing
community management of a collection growing through the ongoing
repatriation of tools, art and Ancestor remains, the text also
explores how Robert Hudson engages with visitors to the Keeping
Place and local colonial history museums, and theorises the power
of Gunai Kurnai work with individuals and institutions in the small
museum context. Finally, Hudson and Woodcock demonstrate that the
Keeping Place articulates sophisticated Gunai Kurnai-grounded
methodologies of museum practice in relation to international
critical Indigenous studies scholarship. Self-determined First
Nations Museums and Colonial Contestation provides a vital case
study of an Indigenous museum space written from an inside
perspective. As such, the book will be essential reading for
scholars and students engaged in the study of museums and heritage,
Indigenous peoples, decolonisation, race, anthropology, culture and
history
