Websites, Collaboration with Indigenous Nations, Teaching

Cathy Stanton’s email requested even partial proposals and musings so I thought I’d throw out some of the things I’ve been thinking about. I’d love to talk with some folks who are thinking creatively about website development/digital publishing and/or collaborative practices and the pedagogy needed to prepare our students to work collaboratively, especially with Indigenous Nations. I’ve been working with the Chinook Indian Nation for several years on several projects, including a website that documents their history. Right now, we are working largely without funding but it’s a project I’ve pulled several graduate and undergraduate students into. Collectively, we have a lot of energy but few other kinds of resources. I hope to leave the conference and camp with some ideas about how to keep the project going and maybe even how to rethink what we are doing.
