Oh, hey, it’s my name in print! I spent three years assisting my graduate advisor on this book and the finished copy arrived today. (More details below if you’re interested…) While the project took a lot longer than I was anticipating, it’s still really wonderful to have had a hand in this text. Most Indigenous cultures have their own views on ownership/claim over materials that are typically not respected by the dominant culture. Indigenous librarians and archivists play a very crucial role in preserving knowledge according to how their culture views preservation. We received submissions from Indigenous academics, adding up to a book that covers ideas of ownership and how those ideas are implemented in libraries, archives, and museums all over the world. Between myself, my advisor, and a Canadian university librarian, we edited each submission multiple times, spending long hours skyping and reading each word out loud. I’ll admit, I didn’t quite know what I was in for when I agreed to work on this book, but the end result turned out so well. Cool, right? -- source link
