Through the field trip and the meeting with Anishinabe community members, students learned about the importance of the voices and knowledge of source community members for understanding objects in museum collections. Students were also able to apply the knowledge they had gained from their readings and class-room discussions in real-world situations. Student were asked to reflect on these experiences in various individual writing assignments and then discuss their reflections with their fellow students. Below are quotes from two undergraduate students that capture the achievements of these experineces: "These community conversations with people from the Ziibiwing Center … were essential to reshaping the way that I was thinking about the collection objects but also how I thought about the relationship between museums and source communities." "Part of me is a little disappointed in myself for not giving community perspectives more value and thought from the beginning of [the course] project, just because the inclusion of native voice and participant engagement has been a topic covered in many of my classes. On the other hand, I had never gotten to work with anthropological or ethnographic collections physically before, let alone the communities they came from, so this was an entirely new situation for me. I think it goes to show that you can read about something, but you really don’t know what it is like, or how you will react, until you are in the situation yourself. I am so glad my perspective has changed, and that I was able to grow as part of a class and learning environment, so that hopefully if I encounter a similar situation in the future I will be better prepared to understand and handle things.”
