Description
"In 1925, Beatrice Blackwood of the University of Oxford's Pitt Rivers Museum took thirty-three photographs of Kainai people on the Blood Indian Reserve in Alberta as part of an anthropological project. In 2001, staff from the museum took copies of these photographs back to the Kainai and worked with community members to try to gain a better understanding of their perspectives on the images. 'Pictures Bring Us Messages' is about that process, about why museum professionals and archivists must work with such communities, and about some of the considerations that need to be addressed when doing so."--Jacket.
First Sentence
Just as the Blackfoot language builds up images in the minds of listeners - slightly different images, according to associations made by each individual listener - so Blackwood's photographs of Kainai people take on different meanings according to the contexts in which they have been placed.
