Join our Yukon presenters at the ACA conference this summer!

  • Angela Code - Moderator

  • Gùdia, Mary Jane Johnson - Yukon First Nation Elder

  • Sheila Greer, Roberta Nakoochee and Nancy Vanden-Eykel - Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN)

  • Susan Parsons - Trondëk Hwëch'in First Nation (THFN)

  • Karly Leonard and Tahyah Van Bibber - Yukon Native Language Centre (YNLC)

This panel will explore the policies and procedures developed by the Yukon Council of Archives' Yukon Self-Governing First Nations members. With the increasing awareness of Indigenous records through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's (TRC) Calls to Action and other Indigenous activities across the world, YCA would like to take this opportunity to create a safe space to share some of our members' archival policies and procedures. This workshop will invite discussion on current practice in Indgenizing Canadian archives and how we can move Reconciliation efforts forward. YCA hopes by sharing our members' experiences in policy-making, it will encourage others to share similar efforts. Together, we can create policies that honour Indigenous perspectives relating to the care of their Nations' records. 

An opening statement acknowledging the workshop's location in the Traditional Territories of the Kwalin Dün First Nation and the Ta'an Kwä'chän Council will be given.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

  1. Be better informed on the obstacles and parameters of creating archival policies and procedures relating to Indigenous archival heritage institutions and holdings.

  2. Have a better understanding of what it means to "Indigenize" archives and how that can be reflected in archival policies and procedures, using Yukon Self-Governing First Nations as case studies.

  3. Have an increased awareness of the developing critical discourse on Indigenization in the Canadian archival discipline.

Archives Workshop & Mini-Summit

Workshop Agenda

Poster

Workshop Limited to 20 Participants.

This three-day workshop will focus on all aspects of archival principles and practices including purposes and functions of an archival institution; key policies and procedures; essential steps in acquiring and processing archival records in all formats; providing access; protecting privacy; appropriate storage methods; preservation requirements, and conservation measures, and a discussion of the practical realities of managing records and archives collections, particularly in local communities or low-resource environments.

Laura Millar will be the Lead Facilitator, leading and participating in all sessions, with the assistance of YCA Itinerant Community Archivist Jenny Lu. Additional inputs will be provided by Yukon Archives staff and YCA board members. In addition, YCA will invite Indigenous archivists to participate in a discussion of evolving approaches and practices for managing evidence for Indigenous communities.

The workshop will include hands-on practical training in archival principles, methodologies, and practices; practical exercises to illustrate the processes involved in acquiring, arranging, and describing archival records, with additional discussions and a particular focus on Indigenous archival issues.

Throughout the workshop, each participant will work on activities to support a strategic planning exercise designed to help them whether and how they might establish or expand their archival institution, or whether and how they might pursue other actions to protect sources of evidence important to their communities.

See Laura Millar at the Heritage Awards:

Laura Millar is an internationally known archives instructor, lecturer and consultant who resides in British Columbia. Among her many interests and foci, she is deeply concerned about the growing problem of “fake news” for democratic societies around the world. She has recently published a book entitled A Matter of Facts: The Value of Evidence in an Information Age. In it, she deals with the importance of authentic records keeping as an evidentiary foundation of our rights and freedoms, and as an important tool for combatting growing misconceptions and mis-directions that threaten our wellbeing in Canada and elsewhere.  In her keynote talk, Laura will shine a welcome light on the importance of archival records past, present and future, including the challenges of preserving authentic records in the digital age.
