by James Lowry 30 Aug '22

From: <aeri(a)lists.ucla.edu> on behalf of Diana Marsh <diana.e.marsh(a)gmail.com> Date: Tuesday, August 30, 2022 at 8:55 PM To: aeri <aeri(a)lists.ucla.edu> Subject: Native American Archives Section Free Resources for Teaching Attention Archival Educators! The Society of American Archivists Native American Archives Section (SAA-NAAS) serves as a forum and source of communication and inspiration for archivists working with Native American and Indigenous collections. We want to share with you some resources that may be useful in your courses, especially those with units seeking to educate students about community-based, Native American, or Indigenous archives, and for those of you looking for more asynchronous content! 1. Updated Resources about the Protocols Colleagues and students often ask us where to get started: What should I read? What examples are out there of good Native and Indigenous archival work? This page <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > provides an overview of where to find information about the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials (PNAAM) publication and its history, as well as resources for understanding and implementing each of the PNAAM core sections. 2. Webinar on Canada’s Reconciliation Framework: Reflections and Advocacy Across Borders Session synopsis: In late February 2022, the Response to the Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Taskforce (TRC-TF) of the Steering Committee on Canada’s Archives (SCCA) released its Reconciliation Framework<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. This report was the result of over five years of SSHRC-funded research, relationship building, and collaboration across Canada between representatives of the Canadian archival community and Indigenous heritage professionals and practitioners. The Framework provides direction, through recommendations for action, to be taken by Canadian archivists who are ready to embark upon their own personal and professional journey towards reconciliation through respectful relationship building with Indigenous communities represented in their repositories. The Framework also serves to reinforce and support First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities’ intellectual sovereignty over records by, or about them, and encourages the reconceptualization of mainstream archival theory, practice and education. This webinar featured five members of the Taskforce, who described the process of developing the Reconciliation Framework, an introduction to the Framework itself and the next steps in their work. See the video recording here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. 3. Webinar live video series on the Protocols Last year, NAAS’s partner, Dr. Jennifer O’Neal of the University of Oregon, and the Sustainable Heritage Network (SHN) completed five webinars covering various themes of the Protocols for Native Archives Archival Materials<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >, including: 1. building relationships of mutual respect 2. balancing community and institutional perspectives 3. centering Indigenous voices, 4. Native American intellectual property rights 5. Native American research protocols See our video recordings here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. 4. Reparative Description Webinar On May 26, 2021, the Native American Archives Section (NAAS) hosted the webinar "Implementing Reparative Description for Indigenous Collections." The webinar was the second in the Identity Series, a collaboration between multiple Society of American Archivists (SAA) sections to create events that celebrate who we are as people and archivists. The purpose of this webinar was to: · define reparative description, especially as it relates to Native/Indigenous archival collections; · discuss the importance of reparative description, but also its limitations; · contextualize reparative description within broader conversations happening inside and outside of the archives field; · offer real-world examples from speakers' own experiences; and · suggest resources that participants can consult to learn more. See the video here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. 5. Lesson Plan and Video Presentations Also available on the SHN site are a lesson plan and two videos <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > that introduce the Protocols and discuss how to start a conversation about them at non-Tribal institutions. 6. Case study articles NAAS has also published four open access case study articles detailing real-world approaches to implementing the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials in archival institutions. See the latest piece by Brave Heart Sanchez, Elizabeth Dunham, Renee James, Joyce Martin, Lorrie McAllister, Allinston Saulsberry, Alexander Soto, and Alana Varner about the Arizona State University Library. <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > See the piece by Brian Carpenter about the American Philosophical Society (APS)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. See the piece by Jonathan Pringle about Northern Arizona University’s Cline Library<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. See the piece by Diana Marsh, Robert Leopold, Katherine Crowe, and Kate Madison about the Smithsonian’s National Anthropological Archives<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. Additional case studies are in peer review and will be posted to SAA’s website<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >. 7. Live Society of American Archivists Panel on the Protocols 101 and Starting Conversations in Real-World Institutions With special permission from the Society of American Archivists, this NAAS presentation at the 2019 annual meeting has been posted online<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… > and on our Meetings page<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__nam02.safelinks.protec… >! Session synopsis: This session explores the future of Indigenous collections stewardship for the 21st-century archivist. Following the conference theme, it considers how archivists can leverage creativity to make positive changes to collections care and access amidst institutional constraints in several major areas. We present case studies that highlight best practices for successful collaboration, and together explore action items that address how institutions can prepare for proactive communication with Tribal communities.
