Positionality statement and land acknowledgement workshop | SFU Library
During the summer of 2019, Library staff members from various divisions collaborated on a reading circle around Indigenizing library instruction. This informal group continued into the fall of 2019, when we read sources focused more on politics prior to the federal election. The time and space offered participants a place to examine their practices and knowledge in a way that was supportive and safe. Based on the feedback, more informal learning and sharing was desired. One topic that was strongly requested was land acknowledgements, and how to authentically deliver them. Out of all this, the Decolonizing the Library Interest Group (DIG) was formed in late fall of 2019.

Operationalizing the CARE and FAIR Principles for Indigenous data futures - Scientific Data
Operationalizing the CARE and FAIR Principles for Indigenous data futures - Scientific Data
As big data, open data, and open science advance to increase access to complex and large datasets for innovation, discovery, and decision-making, Indigenous Peoples’ rights to control and access their data within these data environments remain limited. Operationalizing the FAIR Principles for scientific data with the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance enhances machine actionability and brings people and purpose to the fore to resolve Indigenous Peoples’ rights to and interests in their data across the data lifecycle.

Land Back - A Yellowhead Institute Red Paper
Land Back - A Yellowhead Institute Red Paper
The Red Paper follows a tradition of Indigenous analysis and agenda making reports, like the first Red Paper released in 1970 by the Indian Association of Alberta in response to Canada’s 1969 White Paper. Our report, “Land Back,” breaks down the current status of land dispossession in Canada, focusing on alienation through resource extraction.

Land Acknowledgment: Native American and Indigenous Initiatives - Northwestern University
Land Acknowledgment: Native American and Indigenous Initiatives - Northwestern University
Northwestern is a community of learners situated within a network of historical and contemporary relationships with Native American tribes, communities, parents, students, and alumni. It is also in close proximity to an urban Native American community in Chicago and near several tribes in the Midwest. The Northwestern campus sits on the traditional homelands of the people of the Council of Three Fires, the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa as well as the Menominee, Miami and Ho-Chunk nations. It was also a site of trade, travel, gathering and healing for more than a dozen other Native tribes and is still home to over 100,000 tribal members in the state of Illinois.

Indigenous Protocol and Artificial Intelligence - Indigenous Protocol and Artificial Intelligence Working Group
This position paper on Indigenous Protocol (IP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a starting place for those who want to design and create AI from an ethical position that centers Indigenous concerns. Each Indigenous community will have its own particular approach to the questions we raise in what follows. What we have written here is not a substitute for establishing and maintaining relationships of reciprocal care and support with specific Indigenous communities. Rather, this document offers a range of ideas to take into consideration when entering into conversations which prioritize Indigenous perspectives in the development of artificial intelligence.

Honoring Native Peoples and Lands | UO Libraries
Honoring Native Peoples and Lands | UO Libraries
The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of their indigenous homeland by the United States government and forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, descendants are citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, and continue to make important contributions in their communities, at UO, and across the land we now refer to as Oregon.*

A border tribe, and the wall that will divide it
A border tribe, and the wall that will divide it
For the Tohono O’odham people, the mountains are sacred. The story is told that, I’itoi, their creator, lives in a cave below the Baboquivari peak. One day, Tohono O’odham farmers who wanted to expand their land asked I’itoi to move the mountain. But the greediness of the men forced the top of the mountain to break off and the rain to stop feeding the farmers’ crops. Even as the land turned brittle in the heat, the Tohono O’odham people never left. They were here long before their land was divided, first by a border, then again as fences were built and gates closed. Now they fear they will be divided once more. There is no O’odham word for wall, the people say. They promise each other they will stay and fight.
