Including both an overall history, as well as present-day case studies that interpret the history and culture of Native Americans, this volume is a reflection of the growing trend (and standard) amongst museums choosing to share authority with native groups to create more authentic exhibits. Overall, this is a well compiled edited volume.

A good overview of not only museum practice for Native American curation is provided, but a timeline of overall legislation that has led to the current status quo is also presented.

While case studies are provided by museum staff who have implemented collaborative programs with Native stakeholders, it would have been nice to see more Native authors represented in the volume.
