| Résumé: | The Declaration of the Round Table of Santiago de Chile in 1972 was more than a milestone for museological thought. It paved the way for new forms and understandings of museum work and the inclusion of different participants. In recent years, different Indigenous groups have come to recognize the museum as a space where they can make their stories and struggles visible to society. Through the museum, Indigenous peoples have had their right of access respected, regarding the objects of their ancestors that were musealized in the past. Therefore, this article discusses different collaborative practices between museums and Indigenous peoples through examples in Brazilian territory, in order to highlight the Declaration’s influence on these new practices and new horizons. Bearing in mind the museum's social function, we highlight the importance of museum exhibitions for the re-elaboration of museological thinking and the (re)organization of museum practices. |
