My understanding of community cultural development is about the relationship to culture and the improvement of the human condition. In addition the focus on the development of cultures through public awareness and social conditions. This is important in my current and future work as a curator. These skills of becoming an active participant  in cultural life  and building awareness open doors to engaging the community. To learn and understand the importance of community cultural development will help me represent works of art in a cultural context. This will  allow me to provide the community a deeper engagment with the art. This will also bring to life the history of the culture being represented. One question I have in the sense of Stories being shared. How do you know when it is acceptable to share a story in the terms of say a journal or a letter for example, from like the 1600s? Let’s say this letter came from and Indian tribe, would it be correct to contact that tribe to see if they want the story shared or because the letters old, would it not matter to the tribal culture?
