Native American Museum Studies Institute 2024 - Application Form |
Introduction
The California Indian Museum and Cultural Center (CIMCC) and Joseph A. Myers Center for Research on Native American Issues at the University of California, Berkeley (CRNAI) are pleased to announce our resumption of the Native American Museum Studies Institute (NAMSI) in 2024 after a four-year hiatus due to COVID-19. Please see https://issi.berkeley.edu/crnai/training/namsi for information about previous NAMSIs. NAMSI takes place primarily at UC Berkeley.
NAMSI helps to increase the capacity of Tribal leaders, museum professionals, and community members to repatriate, conserve, and revitalize Tribal cultural heritage, foster Tribal representations and partnerships, and educate Tribal and non-Tribal communities through museum and cultural organization development.
NAMSI 2024 will take place from August 5 to 8, with an optional day on August 9. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the Institute is full, at which time this form will be closed. The Institute is able to accommodate up to 20 participants who work, volunteer, or have a role in governing Tribal museums and cultural organizations, with an emphasis on serving under-resourced people and institutions.
It should take you about 15 minutes to complete the application process. The information you provide is confidential and will only be used to conduct NAMSI.
