Bringing the Memories Home: Indigenous Data Sovereignty in the Preservation of Residential School Photos : Poster - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa

Abstract

This poster is about a project to share and receive guidance on Lebret Indian Residential School photos from the University of Saskatchewan to the Starblanket First Nation, Peepeekisis Cree Nation, Okanese First Nation, Little Black Bear First Nation, and Métis people in and around Lebret, Saskatchewan, Canada. A community engagement will be held at the same time as the Treaty 4 gathering in September 2025 to ask for appropriate descriptions to be able to repair metadata records and seek guidance for stewardship decisions around the photos. This poster will share the results of this first engagement along with reflections to improve future engagements. It will demonstrate the importance and necessity of incorporating Indigenous communities and Indigenous Knowledges into preservation practices and strategies to uphold Indigenous data sovereignty.
