Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While library literature has made at least a passing effort to cover services to American Indians, most of the writings have been from a white perspective. Very little attention has been paid to how Native Americans have traditionally gathered and passed along knowledge--primarily through visual and oral means. This work examines how libraries traditionally provided service to Native Americans and how such service could be improved through an understanding of Indian traditions. Chapters present an overview of library services before World War II, the various methods Native Americans have used to preserve their heritage, and the importance of the preservation and maintenance of artifacts. The current state of library services is then explored, followed by a chapter on how new technologies are being used to expand and improve services. A final chapter offers guidelines for collection management and reveals many of the images and stereotypes to be found in much of the literature for and about American Indians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tribal libraries in the United States have become sites of cultural and language renewal, gathering places, and places to collect, preserve, and share Indigenous knowledge. After more than forty years of development, tribal libraries have become important sites of decolonization, where sovereignty and self-determination are paramount. These libraries are relatively recent tools that Native (and non-Native) people have begun to employ to collect, preserve, and transmit Indigenous knowledge for current and future generations. Despite the important role these institutions play in many Native communities, their presence is relatively unknown in the scholarly literature. This research traces the history and development of tribal libraries using qualitative research methodologies informed by Indigenous approaches to knowledge. Interviews with early designers as well as with current tribal library designers were conducted to tell the story of tribal library development. Analysis of archival documents provided additional information on the development of tribal libraries. This research addresses the question, What was the basis for the development of tribal libraries? The result of this examination reveals that the basis for tribal library development included the following: 1. Inadequate library services for American Indians; 2. Federal responsibilities to Indian education; 3. The activism, leadership, and advocacy of the early designers of tribal libraries; 4. The era of Self-Determination; 5. Opportunities for American Indian library leaders, educators, community members, and allies to collectively send a message to the U.S. president and congress regarding American Indian library services; 6. A strong vision for tribal libraries; and 7. Linking American Indian culture to libraries. An understanding of these historical and current intersections is crucial to provide context to design and support information systems from Indigenous positions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many national parks and monuments tell unique stories of the struggle between the rights of native peoples and the wants of the dominant society. These stories involve our greatest parks—Yosemite, Yellowstone, Mesa Verde, Glacier, the Grand Canyon, Olympic, Everglades—as well as less celebrated parks elsewhere. In American Indians and National Parks, authors Robert Keller and Michael Turek relate these untold tales of conflict and collaboration. American Indians and National Parks details specific relationships between native peoples and national parks, including land claims, hunting rights, craft sales, cultural interpretation, sacred sites, disposition of cultural artifacts, entrance fees, dams, tourism promotion, water rights, and assistance to tribal parks. Beginning with a historical account of Yosemite and Yellowstone, American Indians and National Parks reveals how the creation of the two oldest parks affected native peoples and set a pattern for the century to follow. Keller and Turek examine the evolution of federal policies toward land preservation and explore provocative issues surrounding park/Indian relations. When has the National Park Service changed its policies and attitudes toward Indian tribes, and why? How have environmental organizations reacted when native demands, such as those of the Havasupai over land claims in the Grand Canyon, seem to threaten a national park? How has the Park Service dealt with native claims to hunting and fishing rights in Glacier, Olympic, and the Everglades? While investigating such questions, the authors traveled extensively in national parks and conducted over 200 interviews with Native Americans, environmentalists, park rangers, and politicians. They meticulously researched materials in archives and libraries, assembling a rich collection of case studies ranging from the 19th century to the present. In American Indians and National Parks, Keller and Turek tackle a significant and complicated subject for the first time, presenting a balanced and detailed account of the Native-American/national-park drama. This book will prove to be an invaluable resource for policymakers, conservationists, historians, park visitors, and others who are concerned about preserving both cultural and natural resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As librarians enhance their commitment to the ideals of multicultural service & their recognition of the rich diversity of U. S. society, the single largest obstacle to realizing this commitment is the profession's failure to recruit & train a diversified work force." Kathleen de la Pena McCook Stop Talking & Start Doing! Recruiting Minorities to the Library Profession is a practical guide to finding, nurturing, & retaining a diversified workforce for libraries that reflects & attracts the communities they serve. Minorities now make up around 26% of the U.S. population & by 2000 are expected to make up one third. However, the library profession is not keeping pace with these changes. The profession has, for the most part, failed to attract new members from the very populations that can benefit most from library services: people who are younger, non-white, & from a variety of ethnic & social backgrounds. The number of minorities entering or already working in the library profession is minute compared to the populations served by libraries. Minorities, including African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, & Asians make up only 10% of new LIS graduates. The total number of minority librarians working in academic & public libraries is less than 12%.It has become imperative to recruit a diverse workforce for the library profession. Authors Reese & Hawkins provide clear & workable solutions to attracting new faces to add diversity to the profession. The authors provide practical ways to attract, recruit, & mentor minorities to the library, including: Marketing strategies geared to the tastes & perspectives of minorities & young people Practical methods for mentoring minorities Guidelines on the role of library schools in minority recruitment Gregory L. Reese is one of a handful of African American Directors of public libraries in the United States. He is the Director of the East Cleveland Public Library. He was the 1998 president of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. Mr. Reese regularly gives presentations to library professionals on recruiting & retaining young people & minorities. In 1996 he was named one of the "Seven Most Powerful Black Men in America" by Ebony Man. Ernestine Hawkins is the Deputy Director of the East Cleveland Public Library. She was the first President of the Cleveland Area African American Library Association & is currently serving on several national committees of the American Library Association.
