| Résumé anglais |
Ancestral objects, like those that are cared for by the Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac, embody a multitude of uses, stories, ideas, and connections to places, people, and other-than-human beings. Myaamia scholars and cultural experts recognize that much of this complexity cannot currently be deciphered, but with work and time, powerful meanings can be reclaimed. This essay explores Myaamia efforts to draw together the threads of their people's ongoing experiences and weave a web around these objects that links them to Myaamiaataweenki (Miami language), Myaamionki (Miami homelands), and Aalhsoohkaana neehi Aacimoona (Myaamia stories). Myaamia scholars and cultural experts believe that collaborative research that combines intergenerational cultural knowledge with the outcomes of academic research, some of which Myaamia are also trained to implement, creates a richer analysis that benefits Indigenous people and the general public.
