Denver Museum of Nature & Science https://www.dmns.org/
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science seeks candidates for the role of Indigenous Affairs Specialist. This role is designed for a strategic advocate and compliance expert who will serve as the primary bridge between the Museum and Indigenous communities. The position oversees legal repatriation mandates under NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act) while proactively building long-term, reciprocal relationships with both domestic Tribal Nations and international Indigenous communities.
DMNS strives to go beyond the legal requirements of NAGPRA by actively collaborating with communities to honor source community viewpoints and requests outside the federal framework. While much of the NAGPRA and repatriation work is currently within the Anthropology Department and collections, this position will extend its expertise to other museum collections and departments as our decolonization practices continue to evolve.
