From a curatorial perspective, this article describes the making of a temporary British Museum exhibition, Arctic: culture and climate, which opened in London in October 2020. The exhibition aimed to present Indigenous Arctic Peoples' perspectives of their environments and histories while exploring their relationships with weather and strategies for flourishing amid changing climates. Collaborations with Indigenous Russian North and Siberian communities were critical to the exhibition's circumpolar focus, but partnering directly with Indigenous advisors and organizations from Russia proved difficult. This article considers our efforts to overcome these challenges, which included relying on the work of socially engaged anthropologists
