Abstract

This article explores the confluence of various materialities of space and their links to social and representational violence. Specifically, the author examines these forms of violence with reference to two virtual museum exhibitions of indigenous houses and housing practices: the Museum of Civilization's website – civilization.ca – and its permanent exhibit, titled The Grand Hall; and the Reservation X virtual exhibit on the National Museum of the American Indian website. In these museum displays, ideas of ‘house’ and ‘home’ are central to the visual rhetoric on aboriginality.
