This CDP will engage with current debates about the role of cultural institutions in collecting, preserving and promoting indigenous languages, and the ethical issues that such activities raise. The core supervisory team is the British Library Curator for North American Printed Collections (Fuentes) and a U.K. expert in indigenous history (Porter), supported by a secondary team at the forefront of indigenous language studies (Professor Dale Turner (Anishinaabe), Department of Native Studies, Dartmouth College; Mishiikenh (Vernon Altiman, Mohawk), Queen's University, Ontario; 3) Professor Marianne Mithun, University of California, Santa Barbara. The student will be encouraged in their first year to use Student Development and institutional funding to complete one or more short but intensive language competence courses run by co-supervisor Mishiikenh in Ontario. They will use their acquired knowledge of Anishinaabe and will work with indigenous communities to generate the first survey, identification & tagging of indigenous language holdings in a series of BL collections and they will identify and significantly improve catalogue records in relation to indigenous languages. The student will begin by engaging specifically with BL Boarding School publications and the variety of material therein (primers, reference texts and indigenous creative output), before going on to explore dictionaries and religious texts in translation, as well as 20th century Native newspapers, activist campaign materials and literature by indigenous authors and poets. To help them comprehend this work in indigenous context, they will be encouraged to explore methodologies such as 'up-streaming', asymmetries of power within other post or neo-colonial contexts and linguistic code switching as defined by Penelope Gardner-Chloros and others. The student will seek to learn from the expertise of the curatorial and learning teams who worked on the 'Windrush: Songs in a Strange Land' exhibition and will also participate in a Library indigenous working group.

该项目将参与当前关于文化机构在收集、保护和促进土著语言方面的作用以及此类活动引发的伦理问题的辩论。核心监督团队是大英图书馆北美印刷收藏馆馆长（富恩特斯）和英国土著历史专家（Porter），得到土著语言研究前沿二级小组的支持（达特茅斯学院土著研究系Dale Turner教授（Anishinaabe）;安大略皇后大学Mishiikenh教授（弗农Altiman，Mohawk）; 3）圣巴巴拉加州大学Marianne Mithun教授。学生将被鼓励在他们的第一年使用学生发展和机构资金，完成一个或多个短期但密集的语言能力课程，由共同主管Mishiikenh在安大略运行。他们将利用他们获得的Anishinaabe知识，并将与土著社区合作，在一系列BL收藏中对土著语言进行首次调查，识别和标记，他们将识别并大大改进与土著语言有关的目录记录。学生将开始与BL寄宿学校出版物和其中的各种材料（引物，参考文本和土著创意输出）具体参与，然后继续探索翻译的字典和宗教文本，以及20世纪世纪土著报纸，活动家竞选材料和土著作家和诗人的文学。为了帮助他们在土著背景下理解这项工作，将鼓励他们探索诸如“上游”、其他后殖民或新殖民背景下的权力不对称以及佩内洛普·加德纳-克洛罗斯等人定义的语言代码转换等方法。学生将寻求从策展和学习团队的专业知识，谁在'温德鲁什：歌曲在一个陌生的土地'展览工作学习，也将参加图书馆土著工作组。
