WiLS is proud to continue to partner with the UW-Madison Information School to bring our members valuable learning opportunities at a discounted price.
This upcoming webinar series, Indigenizing Information Institutions, bridges the gap between traditional library and information practices and Indigenous ways of knowing.
What does it look like to truly Indigenize the structures of our libraries, archives, and museums? Indigenizing Information Institutions is designed for librarians and information professionals across all sectors who are committed to centering Indigenous knowledge, protocols, and sovereignty within their collections and services.
Whether you are working within a Tribal Nation or managing Indigenous materials in a public or academic institution, these sessions provide the critical framework and practical tools needed to move beyond ‘inclusion’ and toward a transformative model of stewardship.
