Please join the Adult Programs and Anthropology Departments in welcoming Vince Collison on Thursday, April 26th at noon for a special film screening and talk. Everything Was Carved, a film on the behind-the-scenes work at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford with representatives of the Haida Nation, will be shown and Collison will then speak to the subjects raised in the film: museum collections and integrating indigenous community voices. Collison is the Cultural Coordinator for the T'aalan Stl'ang Cultural Camp, Old Massett Village Council for the Haida Nation on Haida Gwaii. He has participated in many repatriations and consultations on ancestral remains and cultural heritage around the world.
