Museums have their enduring traditions--both good and bad--and as I have often said, "there is nothing slower than museum time."

Museums are trying to overcome their centuries of rootedness in self-serving WEIRD superiority. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the arena of repatriation.

My Pacific team and I at the Field Museum in Chicago had a great Zoom last night with the whanau at Tokomaru Bay in Aotearoa.
