ABSTRACT

Over the past decades, there has been a surge of interest in Indigeneity and Indigenous cultures across settler colonial and Indigenous societies. As the chapters collected in this book demonstrate, this change is particularly evident in the world of arts, culture, and memory institutions, where various efforts to “decolonize” relations between Indigenous and settler societies and institutions have become prominent. This afterword presents a brief analysis of these cultural politics, focusing especially on a perceived shift from cultural appropriation to cultural appreciation, which is broadly visible within contemporary memory institutions.
