SYMPOSIUM
Closer to Home: Locating and Retrieving Indigenous Heritage from Archives Outside Canada March 6-9, 2019 | Winnepeg, MB
The Indigenous Heritage Circle (IHC) is hosting this symposium to offer Indigenous knowledgekeepers, historians, curators, archivists and others an opportunity to learn from and contribute to discussions about Indigenous archival records held in repositories outside Canada. Indigenous Peoples are seeking to reclaim records of all types through multiple channels, from physical repatriation of materials to direct involvement in descriptive cataloguing projects. The Closer to Home Symposium is intended to enable shared learning, and to foster relationships and networks that will offer pathways towards reclaiming and protecting Indigenous heritage embedded in archival collections. Registration is open until March 1, 2019. More information at indigenousheritage.ca/ events/#CloserEN
