Abstract
As a graduate student at Brown University and as the 2020–22 Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative (NAISI) fellow, the author was charged with the task to help the John Hay Special Collections Library implement the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials. The purpose of the Protocols is to provide best professional practices related to culturally responsive care and use of Native American archival materials primarily within non-Native institutions. This article reflects on that work applying the Protocols to the John Hay Library. This article elucidates how the charge to implement these Protocols took shape and describes the logic behind the forms to show other Native and non-Native practitioners one approach toward applying the Protocols.

Library Trends 72 (1) August 2023: Indigenous Librarianship [Restricted Access] PRIMARY
This special issue of Library Trends presents a glimpse into the current state of Indigenous librarianship. In the composition of this issue the editors followed an unconventional approach of soliciting articles. Instead of issuing a traditional call for papers, they reached out to individuals and institutions that were already stewarding Indigenous collections in a culturally respectful manner. This method of sourcing allowed the editors to provide the readers with insights into the current state of the field and to invite emerging scholars to share their perspectives. At the same time, it limited the range of experiences that the editors were able to explore. Additionally, availability for authoring was limited in part because publishing is not often incentivized for librarians. Thus, the issue serves as a collection of field reports featuring certain major trends occurring in Indigenous librarianship in North America.
