Toward Indigenous Archives and Sovereignty: Developing an SAA Certificate Program that Centers Relationships, Responsibility, and Reparative Practice
July 28, 9-4:30pm
Tulane University Libraries
Registration link: Event | Society of American Archivists
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.
Audience: Native and non-Native archivists, librarians, museum professionals, and allied workers (open to all SAA Annual Meeting conference attendees and local cultural heritage practitioners)
We hope to see some of you there!
