This article describes three recent collaborative projects involving the Canadian Museum of Civilization and First Nations of the Northwest Territories (Canada). The goal of each project was the revival or recovery of skills associated with specific items of traditional material culture. Two of the projects, one on coiled spruce root basketry and the other on net bags made from babiche, were initiated by Suzan Marie, a Chipewyan Dene living in Yellowknife. The third project involved making a 19th-century-style summer clothing outfit of white caribou hide. This one was initiated by the Gwich’in of the Northwest Territories and developed by Ingrid Kritsch, Research Director of the Gwich’in Social and Cultural Institute. Museum collections that documented the materials, form, and construction of the artifact types in question were important resources in every case, as was museum-based research on historic collections. All three projects were successfully completed and all produced long-term cultural and educational benefits beyond knowledge repatriation and the revival of specific technical skills.
