This document discusses using augmented reality as a tool for decolonization. It proposes developing an intellectual framework that involves reconsidering museum processes and collection interpretation by employing a decolonized knowledge system. This would involve analyzing limitations in physical spaces, working collaboratively with Indigenous people, and creating a virtual immersive interaction. The goal is to develop an additive, collaborative, and iterative process using augmented reality to help decolonize traditional museum knowledge systems.

We acknowledge the painful history of genocide and forced removal from this territory, and we honor and respect the many diverse Indigenous peoples still connected to this land on which we gather.

Editor's Notes
- Pronunciations: Mashpee Wampanoag (MASH-PEE WAUM-PAH-NOG) Aquinnah Wampanoag (AH-QUIN-NAH WAUM-PAH-NOG) Nipmuc (NIP-MUCK)
- 7 minutes tell you we are on unsound ground here.
- The colonists threw off the yoke of the oppressive British. We are a nation of immigrants/ settler, forced migrants, and native people
- We are a nation of immigrants/ settler, forced migrants, and native people The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendents of slaves out of elections. No suffrage
- We colonized the Native Americans, remember. On this day in 1773, a group of Massachusetts colonists disguised as MohawkIndians board three British tea ships moored in Boston Harbor and dump 342 chests of tea into the water.

- I’m a colonial product Small group of people effected the whole world Decolonization is being thoughtful how we handle this global shift to create more equitable systems.
- I didn’t own slaves. Right. This isn’t about you. It’s about systems. We will in a system where humans were bought and sold. Where land was taken. And, we are on that land.
- Repatriation: Belgium’s African Museum 10,290,000 collection objects for 11.6 million people 78 million 120,000 ethnographic artefacts, 170,000 photographs and 10,000,000 zoological specimens
- Who tells stories? Repatriation isn’t always right
- Bringing humanity back
