Review: <i>National Parks, Native Sovereignty: Experiments in Collaboration</i>, edited by Christina Gish Hill, Matthew J. Hill, and Brooke Neely

and Education of the Newberry Library), she is acutely aware of the web of power dynamics in western repositories and challenges them to be radically reimagined through community frameworks.Miron advocates for increased access and encourages the reader to extend much of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) framework into archival professions by deaccessioning records and returning them to tribes.She pushes public historians and archivists to question power, proprietary history, and colonization in archival work.Her work fits within the larger canon of public history and has dynamically engaged Native scholarship to create a more robust archival discourse that centers sovereignty, wellbeing, and rebuilding community fabric.This type of cross-disciplinary training provides Miron excellent tools to discuss Native heritage collection, colonialism, and the ethics of ownership.Miron invites scholars to rethink Native scholarship and public memory through the lens of sovereignty.She invites larger archival institutions to implement community-engaged initiatives that facilitate this restitution, repatriation, and relational partnerships.While the primary focus of this book was the creation of the tribal archive via the Historical Committee's work, I am curious about the author's thoughts on how change must be equally reinforced in settler archival repositories.How do we bridge these two different archival ideologies when repositories exist in different economic, geopolitical, and institutional worlds?Miron honors the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Nation's process and journey to create a mechanism to resist colonial record keeping practices and build a foundation from which to develop public history projects that reclaim their position and authority.Miron's analysis of place-based knowledge through trips to ancestral homelands reveals the cross-generational exchange necessary to counter these extinction and removal narratives.Indigenous Archival Activism provides a framework for archives to radically transgress beyond the utility of scholarship and into the projects and visions held by tribal communities, embarking on a new direction of ethical scholarship with community engagement at the center.
