	abstract = {<p>Recent initiatives by the Assembly of First Nations and the Canadian Museums Association Task Force on Museums and First Nations, and the Canadian Archaeological Association Aboriginal Heritage Committee have committed archaeologists and museums to develop exhibits and collections policies in consultation with First Nations. Despite the uncertainty of changing heritage legislation and land claims issues, archaeologists and museums are working together with local First Nations communities to collaborate on research, exhibits, programs, and the management of collections. This paper presents a case study of Written In The Earth, an exhibit of archaeological material from southwestern British Columbia, that opened at the U.B.C. Museum of Anthropology in October, 1996. Consulting with First Nations representatives for the exhibit resulted in an agreement for collaborative exhibit development, and lead to broader discussions on the operating policies and practices of the U.B.C. Laboratory of Archaeology. Concerns such as collections insurance, liability, professional responsibility, and access to collections were addressed, some for the first time.</p>},
