00:00:00.175 --> 00:00:02.130
(gentle music)

2
00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:05.430
- [Gabriela] The Burke Museum
is honored to be recognized

3
00:00:05.430 --> 00:00:09.450
for its commitment to
working with communities.

4
00:00:09.450 --> 00:00:11.040
- We are delighted to present

5
00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:14.970
this 2022 National Medal for
Museum and Library Service

6
00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:18.300
to the Burke museum of
Natural History and Culture.

7
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.550
- We are a working museum

8
00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:23.640
and a living cultural organization.

9
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.110
- I would say the best thing

10
00:00:25.110 --> 00:00:26.520
about the Burke in my opinion

11
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:29.130
is just the community
that I've built here.

12
00:00:29.130 --> 00:00:31.320
Then, we are able to be ourselves ,

13
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:32.850
just working with different departments.

14
00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:34.050
Everybody's really great.

15
00:00:34.050 --> 00:00:36.540
- I think there's, we have inspired a lot

16
00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:38.520
of people that have
come through the Burke.

17
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.800
- The programs and research
family that's happening

18
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:44.880
inside the Burke is
transcending this space.

19
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.250
It's reaching out to many communities

20
00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:49.590
within this broader Seattle area,

21
00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:50.970
but also in Oceania,

22
00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:53.040
and various different parts of the world.

23
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:54.960
And I think that's a huge highlight

24
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.940
of what could be possible

25
00:00:56.940 --> 00:00:59.332
in transforming museum spaces.

26
00:00:59.332 --> 00:01:01.915
