Celebrate Asia Pasifika: Speaker Event (Jodie Mattos)

All are welcome to attend a talk titled “Preserving Indigenous Culture: The Hawaiian Collection at the University of Hawaiʻi” by Jodie Mattos, Department Chair of the Hawaiian and Pacific Collections at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. This talk is hosted by the Asian Conversations program.

In this talk, Jodie Mattos will discuss the history and development of the Hawaiian Collection at UH, while also addressing critical questions such as: What do collection development practices look like in this context? How can libraries meaningfully incorporate Indigenous knowledge—especially oral storytelling traditions—into their collections? And what roles do libraries, institutions, and individuals play in advancing Indigenous rights and presenting their cultures both locally and globally?
