When I began doing my research for my Four Views project I realized the difference of a digital and physical artifact is that physical artifacts, such as photographs, handwritten letters, and like objects, have a unique essence that transcends digital copies. They offer a deeper connection to history and cultural heritage, preserving memories and narratives in a tangible form. Unlike digital copies, physical artifacts endure wear and tear, adding layers of character and authenticity. Continuing on the topic of digital and physical copies I think when photographing artifacts with care and respect is crucial for their cultural significance. Ethically, it can help preserve and document these items, enabling researchers, historians, and tribal communities to explore and protect their legacy. Sharing images of artifacts raises awareness and admiration for indigenous cultures, fostering cross-cultural empathy and conversations. It also supports efforts to return objects to their communities, as photographic proof can bolster claims for repatriation. However, it is essential to treat photography with sensitivity and consent, showing reverence for traditions and beliefs. It is crucial to seek permission from authorities or cultural organizations before photographing artifacts, while being aware of any restrictions or guidelines. Ethical photography should emphasize cultural sensitivity, consent, and amplify indigenous voices and perspectives. Another thing I want to touch on is the NAGPRA. Since 1990, federal law has protected and returned Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and cultural patrimony. The National Aggregation of Native American Peoples and Native Hawaiians Act (NAGPRA) ensures dignity and respect for human remains of any ancestry. The law also acknowledges that cultural items removed from federal or tribal lands belong to lineal descendants, Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations. It aims to foster dialogue between museums and these groups, promote understanding, and recognize museums’ important role in preserving the past. I think adding the federal law in 1990 was a right step towards recognizing the native communities all over the country.
