This course will critically examine archival sciences relating to Indigenous peoples. Long perceived as politically neutral, the collection of records is now identified as an act of settler-colonialism that displaces Indigenous peoples and their historical practices. A class project, alongside relevant case studies, considers themes of power, intersectionality, and reconciliation.
