    The White Earth Digital Tribal Museum: Creation of an Open- Access Online Museum Using 3D Images of Cultural Heritage Objects By Larissa Harris A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Anthropology University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2017 by Larissa Harris Abstract Barriers like financial constraints and travel logistics prevent Indigenous people from accessing their cultural heritage objects held by national, state, and local institutions. This can be overcome using photogrammetry to create 3D models of cultural heritage objects and housing them in virtual museums accessible via Internet-capable devices. This pilot project, working with the White Earth Band of Ojibwe on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota, followed appropriate museology and communities of practice approaches to meet the concerns, desires, and budget of the tribal members to provide them unfettered access to cultural heritage objects. Because this approach presents cultural objects as 3D models, which can be 'manipulated' as if physically held, it offers visitors more meaningful engagement than they would have with single-dimension, restricted access museum displays. This project focusing on ten cultural heritage objects serves as a foundation on which similar digital museum projects initiated by Indigenous communities can build. i Acknowledgements Throughout my academic career at the University of Manitoba, and this thesis process, I have been very fortunate to have an advisor who has been just as excited about this work as I have been. Many thanks are owed to Dr. S. Brooke Milne for her shared passion, unending patience, and for providing moments of clarity during this project, as well as my thesis committee members, Drs.
