The image of Native Americans in the United States has changed throughthe passage of time. Part of this change is directly related to the representation oftheir cultures in a museum setting and the inception of cultural resource laws thatgovern them. This research looks at four museums, two in the United States andtwo in the United Kingdom, and compares their representation of NativeAmericans. Unlike museums in the United States, museums in the United Kingdom do not have to comply with laws that protect source communities. Laws like the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (1990) have shaped the relationship between museums and Native Americans in the United States.
