Prototype Murkutu Archive

The team has created a prototype collection with a installation. This prototype provides us with a convenient initial data model for our work that can be scaled by Aqqaluk Trust and others to meet future and broader rematriation needs.

Check out the prototype at https://rematriation.vtdataservices.org/

Special thanks to James Tuttle, the Associate Director of Library Data Strategies at Virginia Tech’s University Libraries. James helped us create and host this archival content management system, as we plan, coordinate, and develop regional relationships to create a sustainable IT infrastructure.

About

The Rematriation Project is a digital archiving project directed by an Iñupiaq-led and serving tribal organization, Aqqaluk Trust, in Kotzebue, Alaska. Our project's aim is to create capacity for and access to digital archives related to Inuit cultural, tribal, scientific knowledges, and history to assist tribes and communities. In partnership with a team of scholars (itself led by an Iñupiaq scholar from Kotzebue) from Virginia Tech and North Carolina State University, we operate on a foundation of community-first, community-led decision making. We seek to empower Indigenous communities with self-determined data and research sovereignty to collect, control, interpret, and benefit from data that originates from their communities.
