\"\"The beginning of my summer has been busy with receiving valuable working experience through my curatorial internship at the Everhart Museum.\u00a0 I have already gained various skills by working here the past three weeks; however, I am looking forward to learning even more as my internship progresses and I continue to complete more projects.\u00a0 This experience has helped me understand the role of a curator in not just handling the museum\u2019s exhibitions, but also administering important responsibilities such as budgeting and marketing.\u00a0 My internship allows me to handle the museum\u2019s artifacts and directly contribute to their conservation and repatriation to indigenous peoples under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). The research I have conducted on various sacred Native American artifacts has helped me understand a museum\u2019s legal procedures while also gaining knowledge about native tribes and their culture.\u00a0 As I continue to work at the Everhart, I hope to be involved in the process of curating an exhibit that relates back to the research I have conducted so far.\u00a0 The knowledge I have gained will impact my future career as a curator because I have an appreciation for the extensive research that goes into conserving and displaying artifacts in an educational, yet respectful way.<\/p>\n
