Hodges, David Julian
1978 Museums, Anthropology, and Minorities: In Search of a New Relevance for Old Artifacts. Anthropology & Education Quarterly, 9(2): 148-157, American Anthropological Association
This article discusses the change in museums and programs to include minorities rather than treat them as distractions, and create an interactive atmosphere. The author gives the example of the Heritage Museum in New York, a children's museum that was designed with the education of children in mind. He describes the museum as "an open classroom," and discusses the roles of and benefits to anthropologists, minorities, and the museum professionals in this new type of museum.

1998 National Premiere of Searching for the Great Hopewell Road. SAA Bulletin, 16(1): 19 (Available online. Page numbers in citation relate to print copy.), Society for American Archaeology
In this article the authors describe their journey to create a public television documentary, titled 'Searching for the Great Hopewell Road.' Litfin and Hawkins explain that the documentary focuses on the case study of a possible road built by the Hopewell people in the Ohio Valley in order to show the differences and similarities in the examination of the past by archaeologists and Native Americans. While public education was the initial impetus for the project, the article details other outcomes as well, particularly the successful collaboration with Native American leaders.
