    The Protocols for Native American Archival Materials and Description
    (2021-04-15) Buchanan, Rose; Marsh, Diana
    The Protocols for Native American Archival Materials (PNAAM) establish best practices for the culturally responsive care and use of Native American archival materials, particularly materials that are housed in non-Tribal institutions. Following SAA’s endorsement of PNAAM as an external standard in 2018, the Native American Archives Section (NAAS) launched a case studies and webinar series about implementing them. These resources include guidelines for providing culturally appropriate and accurate descriptive information for Native American and Indigenous collections.

    Toward Inclusive Reading Rooms: Recommendations for Decolonizing Practices and Welcoming Indigenous Researchers
    (2021-01-26) Buchanan, Rose; George, Keau; Gibson, Taylor; Hung, Eric; Labinsky, Daria; Marsh, Diana E.; Menyuk, Rachel; Norton-Wisla, Lotus; Ortego-Chiolero, Selena; Sowry, Nathan; Tyndall, Monique
    The article, based on a discussion between the Native American Archives Section (NAAS) and the Human Rights Archives Section (HRAS) at the Society of American Archivists' Annual Meeting, discusses the current culture of archival reading rooms and how to start the process of decolonizing them. It begins with examples of institutional archives that have introduced culturally-responsive practices for their Native users as well as, and provides recommendations for institutions to continue fostering welcoming environments. It fills an important gap in current archival literature around decolonizing methodologies and practices in institutions, which has largely ignored the arcane colonial practices and spaces through which Native and Indigenous (and many BIPOC) researchers physically gain access to their heritage collections.
