Building from my work with photo-ethnography, I am collaborating with the Indiana University?s Mathers Museum of World Cultures and Dr. Joe Stahlman (an indigenous researcher of Tuscarora descent) on a photo-exhibit using archival photographs with living communities. ?Stirring the Pot: Taking the Wannamaker Photos Home? is a digital-repatriation project that uses six images from the collection of over 8,000 taken by Joseph Dixon on a then commercial endeavor to photograph Native American life between 1908 to 1921. Together Dr. Stahlman and I visited the Tuscarora Indian Nation and collected stories from descendants of the people in the six photos and photographed the people with their ancestors. We then worked with the staff at the Mather?s to curate and arrange educational activities surrounding the exhibit. It is currently on display.
