Posted in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility (DEIA), Primary Sources and Special Collections

Summary:

Tribal newspapers can provide a broad understanding of historical and contemporary Indigenous experiences across North America. Produced by and for Indigenous communities, these newspapers present scholars with unique research opportunities which cannot be found in textbooks alone.

Working closely with Tribal Councils and in collaboration with the Sequoyah National Research Center (SNRC) and the Newberry Library, two centuries of Indigenous print journalism from the US and Canada are now digitally accessible in the primary source collection, American Indian Newspapers, from Adam Matthew Digital.

During this webinar we will speak with SNRC archivist, Erin Fehr, about the origin of this digital collection, while Professor Robert Warrior will discuss the significance of Indigenous Journalism as an untapped tool for teaching and research within American Indian studies.
