Working Tools: The Reciprocal Research Network

Co-developed in equal partnership by the Musqueam Indian Band, the Stó:lō Nation/Stó:lō Tribal Council, the U’mista Cultural Society, and the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, the Reciprocal Research Network (RRN, rrncommunity.org) is an online tool to facilitate reciprocal and collaborative research about cultural heritage originating from Indigenous Nations whose territories are now often referred to as the Northwest Coast. The RRN seeks to provide a venue wherein communities, cultural institutions and researchers can work together reciprocally. Members can build their own projects, collaborate on shared projects, upload files, hold discussions, and create social networks. Museums from Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom also participated in the development of the RRN: the Royal British Columbia Museum, the Burke Museum, LOA, the Glenbow, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the McCord Museum, the National Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of the American Indian, the American Museum of Natural History, the Pitt-Rivers Museum, and the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology.
