First Nations Knowledge Services Without Borders Institute

Looking for ideas for designing learning opportunities for your communities?

First Nations Knowledge Services Without Borders Institute

We believe that learning is social -- learning revolves around collaboration and connection -- it is about bringing people together and sharing with one another.

Because we value shared learning experiences so much, we want to provide an opportunity for you and your colleagues to participate in our upcoming First Nations Knowledge Services Without Borders Institute Gathering as a team!

Theme: Designing programs and services with your indigenous communities

Introduction: Organizations have and are developing services for their indigenous clientele. Find out what we can learn from these successful examples and learn about new opportunities to engage your audiences. Join a conversation about cultural protocol, how to respect and incorporate indigenous ways in your work.

3 things that participants will take away from the session

  1. Learn about knowledge programs and services for indigenous peoples in numerous settings such as colleges, universities, research organizations, community learning councils, literacy entities, archives, museums, digital libraries, public/academic/school libraries, records management, and traditional knowledge keepers.
  2. Find out about support for indigenous ways among First Nations and their institutions.
  3. Consider how to apply diversity competencies, standards and practices in your organization.

Objectives:

  1. To launch a life-long observation of the intersections between indigenous culture(s), cultural protocol, indigenous worldview, and the ethical standards of public services.
  2. To recognize the spectrum of public services offered by tribal information and knowledge settings.
  3. To begin to understand how to develop public services and programs in tribal settings.
