The following Guidelines were developed over a three-year period of collaboration between Native and non-Native museum professionals, cultural leaders, and artists. The Guidelines are intended as a resource for museums and communities planning and
carrying out collaborative work. These documents do not present a set of rules; instead, they offer principles and considerations for building successful collaborations.
There are two separate and complimentary sets of guidelines; one for communities and the other for museums. Although the focus for both documents is on collections-based collaborations, the Guidelines apply to all types of collaborative work in museums, including education, exhibits and public programs.
