‘Taking back our stories’: Talking about Indigenous Women’s Family History Research

The panel explores opportunities and barriers for Indigenous women to ‘take back’ their stories, and seeks to foster ongoing conversations, and spark new discussions, about Indigenous women’s family history research. The Research Centre for Deep History’s Indigenous Family History Research Residency has been developed to create ways to overcome some of the barriers to such research. These include limited time, limited archival access exacerbated by geographic distance, and limits caused by the complexity of institutional catalogues, processes and protocols.
