I'm happy to announce the newly-completed Guide to the Indigenous Materials at the @AmPhilSociety Library, the oldest and one of the largest repositories of archival materials relating to Indigenous cultures and languages of the Americas, dating from 1553 to 2017. Check it out! teapawt.org/AmPhilSociety/status/9…
The APS Library and Center for Native American and Indigenous Research have a new guide to #Indigenous materials. Read more about the highlights from this improved resource: amphilsoc.org/blog/introduci…

This was a fascinating collection to catalog. Sue Gilfillan was Tim Powell's neighbor.
The Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR) just cataloged the Sue Gilfillan collection, which touches on the urban Indigenous community in Minneapolis in the 1960s-70s and Native social movements in the U.S. in those years.

Saddened to hear of Sherman Bold Warrior's passing. What an amazing life, and a great loss.

Many thanks to @AmPhilSociety for supporting my project, " 'Afraid of what will become of us daily': Eastern Cherokee Voices from the Civil War" with a Phillips Fund grant. Grateful to be working on syllabary docs with ECHT (Eastern Cherokee Histories in Translation) at WCU.

Currently being cataloged: audio tapes donated by Larry Aitken (Bezhigoogahbow), a distinguished Ojibwe elder and educator from Leech Lake, who was a guiding voice in the writing of the APS Protocols for the Treatment of Indigenous Materials and the founding of #APSCNAIR.
Something I have been working on lately that's been in the works for quite a while. Larry was an extraordinary person.
