Title: The Rematriation Project: Building Capacity for Community Digital Archiving in Northwest Alaska
Author(s): Erin Yunes, Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq and Kara Long
Abstract: Directed by an Inuit-led and serving tribal organization, Aqqaluk Trust, in the frontline hub-community of Kotzebue, Alaska, the Rematriation Project: Restoring and Sharing Inuit Knowledges aims to create capacity for and access to digital archives related to Inuit cultural, tribal, and scientific knowledges and history to assist tribes and communities in developing localized, culturally appropriate approaches and solutions to their needs. In partnership with a team of scholars from Virginia Tech (itself led by an Iñupiaq scholar from Kotzebue)—the goal of this project is to empower Indigenous communities through the lens of Indigenous data and research sovereignty to collect, control, interpret, and benefit from data that originates from their communities. The Rematriation Project operates on a foundation of community-first, community-led decision making that emphasizes Indigenous Data Sovereignty practices. This paper outlines the goals and initiatives of the first phases of the project.

Title: Towards Preserving Web-Based Student Publications at Concordia University
Author(s): Sarah Lake and John Richan
Abstract: Student-run papers, journals, and magazines that were previously published in print form are now almost exclusively hosted on digital publishing platforms. How will this shift impact the longevity of student scholarship and institutional memory? This paper will present an ongoing project that aims to archive web-based student publications at Concordia University. We will discuss the rationale behind the project, our initial objectives and scope, and the challenges that we have encountered so far. We will conclude with a discussion of future opportunities for outreach and other envisioned pathways for collaboration.
