The clinics include a 1-day workshop and site visits in each region.</font></p><p style="border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;margin:15px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(54,54,54);text-align:justify"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The clinics are intended for Tribal/First Nations Government administrators, Archivists, Indigenous community members or cultural memory keepers, students, and anyone working in the field of archival or heritage practice. The focus of the workshop "Archives 101: Archival Practice for Indigenous Organizations" is on practical knowledge and skills that participants will be able to utilize. During these workshops the AABC is keen to receive feedback on how to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge keeping and Western-developed archival practices and how the archival community can better improve their services to meet Indigenous needs. </font></p><p style="border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;margin:15px 0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(54,54,54);text-align:justify"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0px;padding:0px"><span style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0px;padding:0px">The AABC is most grateful for the funding support from the Government of Canada through</span> the <a href="https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/services/documentary-heritage-communities-program/Pages/dhcp-portal.aspx" style="font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;color:rgb(0,102,153);border:0px;outline:0px;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0px;padding:0px;text-decoration-line:none">Documentary Heritage Communities Program (DHCP)</a> to make this </span>training possible.
