Meranda’s passion lies in holding colonial institutions, like museums, accountable for the
harmful narratives they have painted about Indigenous people. She is also dedicated to
reconnecting Indigenous collection items with their descendants. Through the use of
Indigenous methodologies, as well as public history pedagogy, Meranda examines the harm colonialism continues to inflict on Indigenous communities and how public institutions can correct these wrongs.
