community and museum education coordinator, will speak to Native associations, particularly Salish myths and stories, with the species represented in both art and scientific specimens in the shows. This perspective will be in sharp contrast with 19th century strategies in the natural sciences that called for the killing and harvesting of specimens and re-“naturalizing” them through works of art and museum dioramas and taxidermy displays. Contemporary art, as seen in the Speyer Collection and modern publications, offers a multiplicity of approaches. The panel will be moderated by director Rafael Chacon.
