This panel is designed to help archivists with indigenous collections and those who are interested in decolonization and tribal inclusion but are unsure about how to begin. Whether it’s outdated nomenclature and cataloging schema, confusing access restrictions, or poor provenance and documentation, processing indigenous collections can be daunting. The panelists take an interactive deep dive into the unique challenges that archivists face in processing indigenous collections, and encourage attendees to incorporate inclusive practices in their archives.
