  • “Indianness” and the Fur Trade: Representations of Aboriginal People in Two Canadian Museums
    “INDIANNESS” AND THE FUR TRADE: REPRESENTATIONS OF ABORIGINAL PEOPLE IN TWO CANADIAN MUSEUMS BY MALLORY ALLYSON RICHARD A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History University of Manitoba / University of Winnipeg Winnipeg Copyright © 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Mallory Allyson Richard ii ABSTRACT Museum representations of Aboriginal people have a significant influence over the extent to which Aboriginal presence in and contributions to Canadian history form part of the national public memory. These representations determine, for example, Canadians‟ awareness and acknowledgment of the roles Aboriginal people played in the Canadian fur trade. As the industry expanded its reach west to the Pacific and north to the Arctic, Aboriginal people acted as allies, guides, provisioners, customers, friends and family to European and Canadian traders. The meaningful inclusion of Aboriginal experiences in and perspectives on the fur trade in museums‟ historical narratives is, however, relatively recent. Historically, representations of Aboriginal people reflected the stereotypes and assumptions of the dominant culture. These portrayals began to change as protest, debate and the creation of The Task Force on Museums and First Peoples took off in the late 1980s, leading to the recognition of the need for Aboriginal involvement in museum activities and exhibitions. This project examines whether these changes to the relationships between museums and Aboriginal people are visible in the exhibits and narratives that shape public memory. It focuses on references to the fur trade found in the Canadian Museum of Civilization‟s First Peoples Hall and Canada Hall and throughout the Manitoba Museum, using visitor studies, learning theory and an internal evaluation of the Canada Hall to determine how and what visitors learn in these settings.

  • Weaving Relationality Into Métis Material Culture Repatriation
    Heart Work: Weaving Relationality into Métis Material Culture Repatriation by Leah Kirstie Hrycun A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Native Studies University of Alberta © Leah Kirstie Hrycun, 2020 Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the desires of Métis individuals in Alberta to advance repatriation and to analyze their views on the role that museums play in continuing to hold material culture. The Métis Nation of Alberta expressed interest in advancing repatriation efforts on behalf of Métis in Alberta, and it is anticipated that this study will provide insight into the desire for repatriation and the effect that repatriation could have on self-determination for Métis in Alberta. It is anticipated that articulating the desires of Métis individuals to advance repatriation would make clear the need for a Métis-specific framework for repatriation, and accordingly this study serves as a foundation from which a Métis-specific framework for repatriation can be negotiated between Métis in Alberta and the federal and provincial governments. Utilizing qualitative case study methodology, including focus groups and one-on- one interviews, this study canvassed nine individuals who self-identify as Métis and who currently reside in Alberta. The data collected through these processes highlight the need for museums and museum staff to develop policies and procedures unique to Métis needs and goals in order to advance repatriation. Through this study, it was found that there is a strong desire for Métis in Alberta to advance repatriation, and that Métis-specific repatriation centres on the development of good relations between Métis and museums in Alberta.

Winnipeg's Cultural Tour Package Research project, proposed by Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (WSO), is a project aiming to structure a tourism package centered at Winnipeg's performing arts and cultural attractions. Through the program, we identify customers' preference for the cultural items as well as the factors related to the preference. We also provide a marketing plan suggesting the direction of starting the program based on SWOT and marketing mix analyses. The research is contributable to both the marketing and the cultural tourism literatures. Also, in practical, the research stands at a macro level to demonstrate the benefits of integrating cultural items in Winnipeg and to suggest ways for WSO to cooperate with other cultural or supporting institutions to offer the program. WCTP RESEARCH PRACTICUM 3 Acknowledgement I would express my deep appreciation to my advisor, Dr.Edward Bruning, for his inspiration, kind help and support throughout my program. I am very grateful that Dr.Edward Bruning took his time and effort to instruct me to be a better student and also a growing marketing researcher.
