In April, SLIS and the Mille Lacs Indian Museum and Trading Post in Onamia, Minnesota, hosted the second Convening Great Lakes Culture Keepers Regional Institute.

Funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the gathering brought together tribal librarians, archivists, and museum curators from across Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin for hands-on workshops, daylong classes, and an amazing keynote on Ojibwe language revitalization by Dr. Brian Waabak McInnes, an assistant professor in the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Department of Education.

This time around, CGLCK featured eleven unique workshops and classes, including “Bridging the Digital Divide: Basic Guidelines and Best Practices for Digitization Projects” by Jeanine Nault, a Digital Imaging Specialist at the National Anthropological Archives. The Sustainable Heritage Network sponsored her class and produced a great video.
