\n 杏吧原创\u2019s Rodney Nelson Appointed to Canadian Museum of History Board\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

杏吧原创 University Prof. Rodney Nelson has been appointed to the Canadian Museum of History\u2019s Board of Trustees, an 11-member body that oversees operations of the national history museum in Gatineau, Que., and its sister institution on the other side of the Ottawa River, the Canadian War Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelson is a faculty member with 杏吧原创\u2019s Centre for Initiatives in Education and co-chair of the university\u2019s Indigenous Education Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A traditional knowledge, Indigenous governance, ethics and economic development specialist, he is also the CEO of the Global Governance Group and the former chair of the Aboriginal Financial Officers Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the reasons I\u2019m looking forward to working with the museums is because they\u2019re doing a lot on Indigenous representation,\u201d says Nelson. \u201cIt will be good to be part of that, to liaise with Indigenous communities and be part of that conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe museums have been great at reaching out to communities and having community members come in to help create exhibits \u2014 their exhibitions are not just collections-based these days but more community-based.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of Canada\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and a new spirit of dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians, museums have an important role to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re an element of continued representation and education, and this has to be done in the right way and in a good way,\u201d says Nelson, whose role on the board will entail fiscal oversight and governance \u2014 areas in which he has extensive experience \u2014 and ensuring that the museums establish long-term strategic plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His four-year term on the museum\u2019s board was announced by Minister of Canadian Heritage M\u00e9lanie Joly on March 21 along with three other new trustees: Jennifer Pereira, Amanda Kingsley Malo and William Young<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe welcome the appointments of these new trustees to our board,\u201d Canadian Museum of History President and CEO, Mark O\u2019Neill, said in a release, \u201cand we look forward to continuing the important work of Canada\u2019s two national museums of history under the leadership of such a talented, diverse and experienced group of Canadians.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
