Toward Indigenous Archives and Sovereignty: Developing an SAA Certificate Program that Centers Relationships, Responsibility, and Reparative Practice
Description:
This interactive workshop brings together archivists and community practitioners to explore Indigenous sovereignty, relationship-building, cultural protocols, and reciprocal archival practice. Through dialogue, case studies, and collaborative sharing activities, participants will identify the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to support Indigenous communities and collections. Insights gathered during the session will directly inform the development of a future Indigenous Archival Stewardship Certificate, helping shape a more ethical, relational, and sovereignty-centered archival profession.
Due to the workshop venue at Tulane University, space is limited for this FREE workshop - register early. Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants are encouraged to participate.
