Dans cet article j'évalue comment l'art contemporain autochtone de l'Alaska est présenté au public en examinant les perspectives des artistes, des expositions sur l'art, et les réactions des spectateurs. Mon but est de justifier le besoin d'examiner la représentation des cultures autochtones de l'Alaska dans les musées et les lieux publics d'art à Anchorage en Alaska. En particulier, je veux souligner l'importance des présentations d'art autochtone de l'Alaska d'après leur contexte, en utilisant des perspectives multiples et des médias d'interprétation fondés sur la collaboration entre les lieux d'exposition, les artistes et les communautés autochtones. De bonnes présentations didactiques peuvent en effet répondre aux différentes exigences de divers publics. Elles peuvent en plus profiter de l'attention spéciale donnée à l'art autochtone américain et euro-américain ailleurs, et défier les idées préconçues qui diminuent les réalisations des artistes autotchones et limitent les perceptions des cultures autochtones de l'Alaska.In this article, I evaluate how Alaska Native contemporary art is presented to the public by examining artists’ perspectives, artwork exhibits and viewer reception of the art. My goal is to substantiate the need to critically address how Alaska Native cultures are represented at museum and public art venues in Anchorage, Alaska. In particular, I seek to emphasize the importance of creating contextualized presentations of Alaska Native art using multiple perspectives and interpretative media based on collaboration between exhibitors and Native artists and communities. More inclusive informative presentations can begin to address the differing requirements of a variety of audiences, utilize the critical attention given to Native American and Euro-American art elsewhere, and provoke a re-thinking of stereotyped preconceptions that continue to diminish the accomplishments of Alaska Native artists and limit perceptions of Alaska Native cultures
