Indigenous Knowledge

COPPUL will support member libraries in their respective efforts to respectfully work with Indigenous Peoples to change practices to more accurately represent Indigenous knowledge systems, worldviews and cultures. Recognizing that relationships with Indigenous communities are essential and inherently local, COPPUL will help to facilitate discussion, learning and information-sharing. We will work to ensure Indigenous knowledge is a part of the work we do in other strategic areas. COPPUL will strive to support Indigenous librarians and library/archival students. We will embrace opportunities for collaboration beyond our libraries.
