Please, send us your questions

Gina and all, send me your questions too

yes

Can I use this for teaching TRC to my students for the Niitsitapi Education Assistant Certificate Program at Red Crow Community College. I would like them to have updated info on TRC.

Is work being done in Canada to re-visit ready-made taxonomies and standards in libraries like DDC and subject headings (like Sears/LOC) that embed historical and colonial supremacies, to reflect less white-centric and inherited ontologies & epistemologies? In Africa, engagement with this type of issue has been disappointingly minimal to date in library leadership and LIS research in general. (From a country where our TRC preceded yours by 20 years).

Thanks so much, Ry!

How do libraries and archives rectify when the knowledge housed within was taken by force?

One of the big things that I personally experienced this summer was frustration with the disconnect inherent in a mainstream culture that was at once mourning the deaths of these children, speaking solidarity to Indigenous nations, mourning the death of its own innocence, and yet supporting/participating in extractive practices, the denial systemic racism, and continuing violence in social and medical services. Maarsii, for your work and for making these connections in your presentation.

Yes, Richard, work is being done. I cannot speak to how much. LCC also has embedded colonial supremacies

Thank you for this insightful and inspiring lecture. How can archivists ensure that they do not reproduce the epistemic violence produced by their predecessors and the (colonial) actors that have formed and created the archives?

Can we (and is it important) do this work in our institutions while also challenging the primacy of text based culture (which arguably discriminates against Indigenous Knowledge and ways of knowing)?
