Reconciliation and climate change are two of the greatest issues that the heritage and museum professions must address today. Based in the Department of Anthropology, my proposed project, “Reconciliation in the Anthropocene”, is to revise my dissertation for publication as a book and develop outreach activities with and for my case study communities. My book aims to show Indigenous perceptions of the impacts of climate change and colonization on their heritage and how, in turn, these perceptions can contribute to future discourse and frameworks for safeguarding Indigenous heritage at multiple organizational levels. Moreover, I seek to demonstrate how interpretations of environmental change are rooted in cultural groups’ senses of place, ontologies, and socio-political circumstances. I will achieve these aims by re-analyzing my ethnographic and interview data from working with Indigenous communities in the Northwest Territories, Canada, and northern Chile, reflecting on current heritage and environmental policies as well as the most recent extreme weather events in both case study locations. I will use theories of indigeneity, memory, decolonization/decoloniality, place identity, and the study of affect and emotion in heritage practices to frame my research. In doing so, I argue that the universality of climate change can be the route through which non-Indigenous peoples begin to empathize with the long-term loss of land and culture experienced by Indigenous peoples. Such intercultural empathy can, by extension, lead to the decolonization of heritage in a dialogical manner and help dismantle cultural policies that innately discriminate against racial and ethnic minorities.
