‘Libraries & archives embracing indigenous ways of knowing: bringing a social justice lens to build reciprocal relationships, truth telling, emotional wellbeing & care to transform the colonial project.’

Awesome insights from @kirstenthorpe.bsky.social #IndigenousLibrarianship
#Libraries #CritLib

tuned into ALIA #InfoOnline25 & my main takeaways from the morning discussions are:
1) there’s a disconnect between aspirations & reality re. implementing Indigenous protocols;
2) #IndigenousLibrarianship is its own discipline, not an add on;
3) allies must stop centring themselves & listen to us.

A warm and impactful opening keynote at #ALIA #InfoOnline25 on Building a Foundation for #IndigenousLibrarianship in Aus. “Establishing Indigenous Librarianship as a distinct profession creates a pathway for us to progress these efforts and support them into the future” —Thorpe & Booker
