Focusing on our research about traditional Tikuna colorants, particularly the recently studied “Tikuna blue,” it explores how scientific analysis of museum collections can address art historical questions and what are some of the limitations of usual approaches in these kinds of investigations. The ethical considerations we have proposed for the scientific investigation of Indigenous sacred and ceremonial items are also presented, as well as methods commonly used for community engagement. Through a community-engaged research case, the presentation also exemplifies how combining local needs and expertise can foster mutual benefits. This approach can improve the social impacts of scientific research, promote intercultural education, preserve and transmit traditional knowledge, and increase the access to cultural materials. Finally, this presentation reflects on open questions within the ongoing project. Department of Art History<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n UCLA\/Getty Program in\u00a0the Conservation of Cultural Heritage<\/a>
