Royster* "Exhibiting Culture: Museums and Indians" was a conference held in May 2009 to celebrate the partnership of the University of Tulsa and the Gilcrease Museum. The conference, sponsored by the Native American Law Center at the College of Law, brought together law professors and anthropologists from academia and the world of museums to explore the issues from multiple perspectives.
