An amazing array of content by Indigenous authors have either languished in public or private archives or been out of print and inaccessible, and all but forgotten. As part of the work of The People and the Text (TPatT), while we have been able to collect a great deal of neglected work, it might seem that the best next step would be to reference these materials in a database, and when possible, digitize them to make them even more accessible. However, because Indigenous communities have for so long struggled with the history of cultural theft and appropriation of both artifacts and knowledge, TPatT has learned to pause and work through Indigenous Research Ethics. This lecture will use case studies from TPatT to articulate guidelines that have directed our work.
