The Equity Diversity and Inclusion Committee (EDIC) and the Professional Development in Composition Committee (PDC) of the English Department at WSU invite you to the third workshop of the EDIC-PDC Workshop Series 2024–25.
The workshop will be held via Zoom on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 12:10–1:30 p.m.
Title: “Community-based Collaboration, Recentering the Archives”
Abstract: This session will explore long-term collaboration between the WSU Libraries, the Nez Perce Tribe, and the National Park Service. Trevor Bond will describe his dissertation research which involved obtaining a Nez Perce Tribe research permit and how his dissertation research materials in turn became a collection on the Plateau Peoples’ Web Portal and how this work in turn contributed to an example of restorative justice when the Ohio History Connection returned $608,100 to the Nez Perce Tribe. The session will include examples of the reuse of audio recordings and photographs and the creation of new video interpretations that surface Nez Perce traditional knowledge. Will Gregg will describe a new collaboration just underway between the Nez Perce National, Historic Park and MASC in which MASC staff will process and digitize key Nez Perce archival collections held in Lapwai. The collections include Nez Perce (nimipuutímt) language material and documents showing the impact of the late-19th century allotment policy on reservation lands.
