Professional Development Resources and Recordings

The links below are Professional Development resources related to various Indigenous themes that have involved COPPUL members during 2021. Some presentations are by some of our Oskapewis Mentorship group members while others are external to COPPUL institutions. While some are specific to Indigenous Librarianship, others are about other Indigenous-themed topics. We hope you find them useful.
