Archives

We will discuss the politics of archives for indigenous people, and ongoing issues of repatriation, ownership, accessibility, and indigenous notions of preservation.

 

Popular Music

We will also discuss the continued importance of indigenous popular musics, which have affected more mainstream genres and are also often important to indigenous political movements.

 

Indigenous methodologies and perspectives will be central to our conversations.
