- Student exhibition: In 2012, the family of the late Mabel Stanley (1901-1979) donated her collection of ceremonial realia and other First Nations items to MOA, with the understanding that the objects would be accessible to the family, and that MOA would create an exhibition about them. Students in the Museum Practice and Curatorship took up the challenge, working with family and community members, as well as historical records, to examine the multiple ways in which a collection of objects can be seen to represent the life of an individual.
