The University of Montana Anthropological Curation Facility (UMACF) has been working in collaboration with the Tribal Historic Preservation Officers from each Montana tribe to formulate policies and procedures in accordance with cultural protocols for repatriation.
The University of Montana's NAGPRA Repatriation Coordinator will discuss what Indigenizing collections care means and what successful collaboration between institutions and tribes could look like.</div>

Courtney Little Axe is Northern Cheyenne, Absentee Shawnee, and Seminole. She grew up on the Northern Cheyenne reservation and in Little Axe/Tecumseh, Oklahoma. She has an AS in Natural Sciences and a Records and Information Management Certificate from Haskell
Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas. She also has a BA in Anthropology and a Forensic Studies Certificate from the University of Montana (UM). During her undergrad, Courtney worked as an intern in the UM Anthropological Curation Facility for two
years. Following her time at UM, she was selected as a Native American fellow at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts and worked on NAGPRA report preparation, researching tribal communities, and bringing an Indigenous perspective to museum exhibitions.
She also worked for the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles, California for three years assisting the NAGPRA Coordinator there. She is now the Repatriation Coordinator and Collections Manager at the University of Montana (UM). Her skill set helped
create procedures to work with numerous tribes across the country to assist with cultural protocols for handling and care of cultural materials. She has dedicated much of her adult life to repatriation and Indigenizing heritage collection care with hope that
her work will help rebuild the framework for what repatriation and collections care could look like.</div>

The <b>Institute for Human Science and Culture Speaker Series</b> features Indigenous experts and scholars discussing the harmful historical collecting practices that brought ancestral belongings into museums and private collections; efforts to reconnect collection
items to their communities of origin; and the reparative work of reclaiming communities’ cultural objects. The Institute Speaker Series is presented in partnership with
<span style="font-weight: bolder;">Summit Metro Parks</span>. For more information, visit the IHSC website:
