Description/learning outcomes:
This hour of conversation will focus on how libraries may work with indigenous peoples to support their cultural identities and sovereignty. Our objectives are to:
- Understand the purpose of a land acknowledgement and what it does and does not do.
- Brainstorm ideas of strategies to work with tribal communities.
- Consider how to evaluate library services in terms of how they might be received by indigenous communities.
- Discuss building collections that reflect the indigenous experience.
