Abstract: This dissertation provides the first comprehensive study of the collection, exhibition, installation, and reception of Maori art in the United States. It begins with the first accession in the early nineteenth-century and ends with twenty-first century permanent installations. While focusing on Maori art exclusively, this study more broadly reveals how the art of non-Western cultures has been collected and presented within American institutions, be it an ethnographic, natural history, university, or art museum. Methodologically, the approach to this study is both historiographic and comparative, relying heavily on primary source material including archival documents, museum guidebooks and annual reports, and object and installation photographs.
