Why do American museums rarely display Indigenous American art? In this episode of the Commons, we talk with museum representatives about the complicated history between museums and indigenous contemporary art, and discuss how this relationship is changing for the better.

Special thanks to Frank Goodyear from the Bowdoin Museum of Art and Susan Kaplan from the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum. Several Bowdoin students contributed to this episode, including Dana Williams, Philip Kiefer, and Sylvia Bosco. The music used in this episode is "Summertime" by Sam Kyzivat.

Thanks for listening.
