Goals of the OR TAI ~
- Networking ~ this is a gathering of tribal archivists, records managers, culture keepers with all nine federally recognized tribes of Oregon represented. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet, share knowledge, and build relationships.
- Professional Development ~ we are all here to learn of course.
- Celebration ~ archives are essential to a community’s identity and we are all here because we love the archival profession!
Opening Dinner, August 19th
On Sunday night the attendees arrived, checked-in to the residence hall, and went to dinner! We started the week off yesterday evening with an intimate dinner in the CH2M Johnson Lounge. We had several special guests in attendance including Allison Davis-White Eyes, Intercultural Student Services and her husband, along with Faye Chadwell and Shan Sutton, OSU Libraries.
Our keynote speaker was Jennifer O’Neal of the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of the American Indian who spoke about her journey as a tribal archivist.
