Following the formal endorsement of the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials (PNAAM) by the SAA in 2018, the Native American Archives Section received SAA Foundation funding to create a series of workshops communicating aspects of the PNAAM. This project, “Implementing the PNAAM: Webinar Series and Resource Toolkit,” outlines the purpose of the PNAAM, the general application of the PNAAM in archival settings, and tangible ways to move forward (institutionally and/or individually) with implementation.
