ABSTRACT
The Internet was not yet being used to its full potential as a repository for non-Western art history, art journals and magazines had yet to become as supportive of advancing Indigenous art histories in productive and self-determined ways as they are today, and major exhibitions of Indigenous art were dispersed intermittently across galleries and museums. The theories and methodologies shared by contributors bring forward practices of Indigenous thinkers and makers as well as protocols, epistemologies, and ontologies to support those who work within the discipline of Indigenous art histories and acknowledge the ways in which Indigenous artists, thinkers, and makers have created, curated, recorded, and theorized Indigenous arts since time immemorial. This chapter explores active sites of/for exchange between generations, communities, artists, institutions, and collaborators, working through how we navigate these relationships by foregrounding Indigenous methodologies of generosity, listening, humility, and accountability.
