My apologies for any cross-postings!
Good morning! We are hard at work, preparing our very first exhibit with
a goal to travel nationally. This exhibit, The Good People: Stories from
the Anishnabek, will share the substance of Anishnabek culture,
heritage, beliefs and identity told from the Anishnabek perspective by
Anishnabek Elders. Most examinations of Aboriginal history have been
told by cultural outsiders, and have examined only the form of
Anishnabek life, without ever truly touching the foundation of what it
means to be Anishnabek. Using a blend of technology and artistry, this
exhibit will facilitate an Anishnabek presentation of themselves, both
to Aboriginals (to inspire them by a public display of their proud
heritage) and to non-Aboriginals (to educate them on this rich culture).
Curriculum-relevant educational programming will be provided as part of
the exhibit package.=20
At this point in our project development, we are asking for a letter of
interest to submit to Heritage Canada. The exhibit would be 1000-1500
square feet (maximum). The rental cost is still under development, but
we expect it will be around the $5000 mark for an 8 week rental. We
expect the exhibit will be ready to borrow in March 2011.
We aren't looking for a commitment to borrow the exhibit yet, but we
hoped that you might provide a letter of interest for the project, that
if the proposal is accepted and funded by the Museum Assistance
Program's Aboriginal Heritage section, your facility might be interested
in borrowing it. If you would please send an e-mail or a fax (to (519)
376-4654), we would really appreciate your support!
If you have any questions, or would like more information, please do not
hesitate to contact either myself, or Petal Furness, Heritage
Interpretation Supervisor (and project coordinator) at
pfurness@greyroots.com.=20
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Stephanie McMullen
