This workshop is part of the “Use Our Words” toolkit created in July 2020 by Lauren Bourdages and Kassandra Caporiccio for LIS 598: Indigenous Library and Information Studies in a Canadian Context at the University of Alberta.
The workshop itself was originally developed as an academic library training workshop by Lauren Bourdages for an assignment on Indigenous library programming for the same course in June 2020. Kassandra Caporiccio adapted the workshop for use in public libraries.

Native Americans and Black communities are the two populations most impacted by mass criminalization and incarceration in the US. The criminalization of indigenous people on this continent began with genocide and slavery on the Spanish missions in California and the forced removal of Native people onto reservations. Today, Native people have the highest percentage of people shot by the police annually. For Native people who are in prison and separated from their families and communities, their faith practices are ignored or punished as chaplains often have no knowledge or cultural context for Native spiritual practices. This has created deep historical and intergenerational trauma.
Yet there is historical intergenerational wisdom that guides not only Native communities and nations, but also models for social change across the US. For example, restorative justice is rooted in indigenous traditions.
Despite this history, current conditions, and strengths, only a tiny amount of funding goes to Native communities. An even tinier amount to grassroots native organizations addressing these issues. Government funding is the primary source of funding for Native communities, which serves to maintain the status quo and does not support building any capacity for resisting US government state violence.
On September 25, 2017, Neighborhood Funders Group brought together four speakers from philanthropy and the field who spoke on policing and mass criminalization of Native communities; organizing and resistance struggles; and funding entry points to support this work.
Speakers:
Morning Star Gali | Native Justice Now
George Galvis | Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice
Edgar Villanueva (moderator) | Schott Foundation and Native Americans in Philanthropy

Policy Debates and Indigenous Education: The Trialectic of Language, Culture,...Che-Wei Lee
As one of co-authors, I presented several policy debate topics and the increasingly important role education institutions play in preserving indigenous languages, culture, and identity. Five country case examples include China, Mexico, Taiwan, Uganda, and the United States. The historical-narrative methodology, including document, policy, and discourse analyses, is used to examine the indigenous policies followed by the debates. The findings show that most indigenous people suffer, in one degree or another, from poverty, discrimination, and marginalization issues. Most indigenous peoples make up about one third of the 900 million extremely poor rural people living on the earth. Indigenous languages, cultures, and identities are increasingly disappearing due to government policies that often prevent their preservation or systematically aim at assimilating indigenous peoples into mainstream societies. This study is of significance in explaining the dynamic relationship among these states’ ideologies, strategies, and indigenous populations’ reactions. Implications provide various stakeholders at all levels with a better understanding of how national beliefs about indigenous policies relate to their strategy use.

Introduction
Character and society come up with a principal matter in the studies of post-provincial. The two sections differ from the contact zone as Mary Louise calls it, either in the frontier situation or the past colonial sate of displacement and migration. The outcome that is unavoidable of the preceding state is the culturally different involvement of wander’s method of lifestyle to that of the host country. In the ‘contact zone’ the individuals who are evacuated go through the eccentric matters. In some occasions, they observe their individual precise social behavior in connection with the nature of the multitude nation, yet they are obliged to alter their social performs to those of the contemporary (Miner, 1956). Consequently, their migrant culture turns to be midway as it joins with that of the multitude, which comes to be a part of them unavoidably. This paper is linked to the character matters discover with the Indian migration in the United States of America that contains the second largest Indian set after Britain. Out of the set rose numerous writers that were acute on character matters recognized with the complicated involvement. The paper also outlines the difference of the cultures.
The First Asian Indians in America
In the several records, foreigners to USA from the country of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan are known as the Asian Indians. Before the closure of the nineteenth era, almost 2000 Indians, the larger section of them the religion of Sikhs which is minority from India's Punjab region, settled on the western part of the bank of the United States, with the intention of financial opportunity (Miner, 1956).
Noteworthy IMMIGRATION WAVES
In the year 1946, Parliament approved a bill allowing the Indians for naturalization in the year 1957, the initial Asian Indian representative, Dalip Saund, was selected to Assembly. Similarly, as other initial Indian strangers, Saund entered to the United States from Punjab and had operated in the grounds and farms of California. He had furthermore gotten a doctorate at the College of California, Berkeley. Whereas additional taught and expert Indians begun to arrive America, migration limits and tight quantities assured that just little amounts of Indians arrived the nation earlier 1965. Normally, nearly 6,000 Asian Indians entered the United States someplace around the year 1947 and 1965 (Miner, 1956).
Settlement Patterns
In the year 1990 U.S. assessment reported 570,000 Asian Indians in America. Nearly 32 percent are established in the Northeast, almost 26 percent in the Southern part, 23 percent in the Western part, and 19 percent in the st ...

Policy Debates and Indigenous Education: The Trialectic of Language, Culture,...Che-Wei Lee
In this chapter, we explore several policy debate topics associated with indigenous education with a focus on the issues of indigenous languages, cultures, and identity. Highly political by nature, the terms indigeneity and indigenous rights are central to most policy debates with direct implications on social justice issues, human rights, and education in general. Besides examining global indigenous declarations that directly influence indigenous education, we also examine policy debate issues within five country contexts—in China, Mexico, Taiwan, Uganda, and the United States. We use the term indigenous genocide to account for any former, current, or future government policy that intentionally causes the assimilation of indigenous peoples into the dominant national culture. Examples are given in the five case countries of how indigenous genocide can lead to the genocide of indigenous peoples’ languages, cultures, and/or identities. The chapter concludes by highlighting the central role indigenous education can play in being able to curb or reverse indigenous genocidal policies. Crucial to reversing anti-indigenous policies is the involvement and empowerment of indigenous peoples in every facet of the policy planning and implementation processes.

This paper applies the citation analysis to identify research trends in the field of e-learning quality, based on the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Science Citation Index (SCI) databases from 2003 to 2012. To do this, 35,482 citations of 1,647 documents identified from SSCI and SCI texts were analyzed. Results showed that research trends varied rapidly and richly in many disciplines between the two time periods (2003-2007 and 2008-2012). This study may be of benefit to scholars seeking to understand the literature surrounding e-learning quality and explore promising research questions.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
