North American natural history museums have often had fraught relationships with Native Peoples. But a pop-up museum led in part by Native activists emphasizes “the sociopolitical forces that shape nature” and partners with other museums and institutions to raise awareness of environmental issues.
We are seeking a Senior Native Organizer to join us in our mission to transform museums of science and natural history. The successful candidate will work with our team to guide sympathetic museums toward becoming more effective allies of Native-led struggles to protect land, water, cultural heritage and our collective future.
Hello! This website offers a snapshot of Not An Alternative’s history as a collective that works at the intersection of art, activism, and critical theory. We don’t update it with any frequency. For the latest on what we’re up to, please visit TheNaturalHistoryMuseum.org, where you’ll find news about exhibitions, interventions, writing, and organizing initiatives led by The Natural History Museum, our full-time project since 2014.
