Files under embargo
Reason: File access is limited to the Blackfoot Digital Library [BDL] and to the Museums currently caring for the items. Models will be freely viewable on the Mootookakio’ssin microsite of the BDL. Limiting access to full photogrammetric datasets is a community-led decision safeguarding and protecting against misuse of community ‘assets’.
