Happening on the grounds in tribal communities and more International Experiences around repatriation. Our third panel will be chaired today by Roberta Bobby connor, a member of the confederated tribes, director of the cultural institute. Since its opening in 1980. Bobby is a former trustee of the Smithsonian Museum of American Indian and chairman of the board and its been my great pleasure to have a few years working with her. She is an amazing and thoughtful advocate, critic, intellectual around the practice of museums and museumology particularly in native country. The conversations ive had with bobby over the years have been so enlightening, ive learned an incredible amount from her about how things operate on the ground, in her own very fine institution, but also her kind of picture of the National Scene and about the mission of museums in Indian Country. So bobby, its wonderful to have you here. Its my pleasure to see you and spend time with you and i will turn things over to you

I hope everyone had a wonderful lunch. I know i did. Always the chiliflavored cho
