Peter Runge, Head of Cline Library Special Collections and Archives, and Dr. Tanja Hoffmann of the University of York (UK) co-presented a Feb. 15 online workshop focused on how culture keepers can\u00a0 build and sustain relationships with their Tribal partners.\u00a0 The workshop was the first of a four-part series presented by the Indigenous Knowledges program, a collaboration between the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the UK\u2019s Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) that \u201cexplores transatlantic relationship-building between cultural heritage institutions in the UK and Indigenous partners in the USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

Runge\u2019s presentation focused on how culture keepers such as archivists, librarians, and curators can implement the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials<\/a> and build and sustain relationships with Tribal communities.\u00a0 Dr. Hoffmann, whose dissertation was written in collaboration with the Katzie First Nation of coastal British Columbia, Canada, provided a similar view but from a Canadian perspective. The presenters also shared lessons learned, resources that can help participants get started, and strategies and approaches that seem to resonate.<\/p>\n

Runge shared that patience, respect, humility, reciprocity are key elements for NAU\u2019s approach.\u00a0 Related to the idea of patience, he recommended that a first meeting with a potential Tribal partner be focused on a conversation \u2013 not an ask.<\/p>\n

And finally, he encouraged participants to educate institutional administrators and resource allocators so they can be as informed and supportive of relationship building with Tribal partners as he has found NAU colleagues (including NAU President Jos\u00e9 Luis Cruz Rivera) to be.\u00a0 Institutional-level support is critical, he said, for work that is undertaken in concert with external agencies and can require significant resources including time, space, and travel.<\/p>\n

While participants in the workshop may just be starting to pursue Tribal partnerships, Runge noted that NAU\u2019s strength in this area is the result of more than three decades of work.\u00a0 Runge is committed to further strengthening the ties and understanding between archivists and Tribal culture keepers now and into the future.<\/p>\n
