The Society of American Archivists (SAA) Foundation has received a $98,000
grant from the Mellon Foundation to develop a yearlong pilot program that
centers Indigenous needs and perspectives in the archives profession.

The new program is aimed at Tribal archivists, Tribal Historic Preservation
Officers, museum professionals, and leaders and focuses on reframing
Western-created "best practices" in archives and recentering Indigenous
values and traditional stewardship practices. This program will also be
invaluable to non-Tribal colleagues and leadership working in colonial
institutions, who will benefit from community-based approaches to
responsible stewardship. The goal is for the program to fulfill the need
for training for archivists working in Tribal libraries, archives, museums,
and cultural organizations who often lack access to expensive graduate and
professional training.

This grant funding will allow for piloting core content for this
initiative. An in-person workshop held at the Institute of American Indian
Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in the fall of 2023 will kick off the
program, and lead to the development of a series of free, educational
webinars. These will be made available for free on the SAA NAAS website
<https://www2.archivists.org/groups/native-american-archives-section> and
on the Sustainable Heritage Network
<https://sustainableheritagenetwork.org/>.

This pilot project will inform the development of a formalized certificate
program, *Indigenizing Archival Practices* (IAP). The development process
will be conducted by SAA in collaboration with SAA's Native American
Archives Section (NAAS) and the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries,
and Museums (ATALM).

Stay tuned for applications to participate in the in-person workshop and
webinars!
