Check it out! xitter.cf/AmPhilSociety/status/9…

This was a fascinating collection to catalog. Sue Gilfillan was Tim Powell's neighbor.
The Center for Native American and Indigenous Research (CNAIR) just cataloged the Sue Gilfillan collection, which touches on the urban Indigenous community in Minneapolis in the 1960s-70s and Native social movements in the U.S. in those years.

Saddened to hear of Sherman Bold Warrior's passing. What an amazing life, and a great loss.

Something I have been working on lately that's been in the works for quite a while. Larry was an extraordinary person.
Currently being cataloged: audio tapes donated by Larry Aitken (Bezhigoogahbow), a distinguished Ojibwe elder and educator from Leech Lake, who was a guiding voice in the writing of the APS Protocols for the Treatment of Indigenous Materials and the founding of #APSCNAIR.
Happening today!

While processing a #newacq today at @AmPhilSociety about urban Native history in Minneapolis in the 1960s and 1970s, I found this cool list of audio recordings available from a shop called Indian Records, Inc., in Fay, Oklahoma. Ready to fire up the old 8-track?
Favorite title found on a set of audio recordings I'm labelling currently:
"If the Men Cannot Pick Up Their Tools, They Shall be Swept in a Pit."

Don't miss out on this great post by #APSNASI summer intern Katie McGhee on working with Mvskoke writing systems and bringing in Python code do things with it. This project was so cool to watch as they developed it!
In celebration of #IndigenousPeoplesDay, read #APSNASI intern Katie McGhee’s (@PoarchCreek) blog post about using computational methods to make materials in their heritage language Mvskoke more accessible for language learners. #APSCNAIR amphilsoc.org/blog/decoding-…
