The Society of American Archivists made it official! 🥳 My colleague and I wrote an article that won an award! I’m accepting it in Chicago next week and I’m so excited.
An excerpt from the press release:
“The article offers excellent and thoughtful advice on how this situation can be ameliorated. The SAA Awards Committee hopes that this article can serve as a wake-up call to repositories working with records documenting Native American/Indigenous/Tribal Communities and encourages them to implement the practical suggestions made in this article.”
