Larry Loyie on cover of "Tribal Libraries, Archives and Museums"

Larry Loyie is honoured to be on the cover of a new book, "Tribal Libraries, Archives, and Museums: Preserving our Language, Memory, and Lifeways" (Scarecrow, 2011).

Loriene Roy, professor at the School of Information, The University of Texas at Austin, and iSchool graduates Anjali Bhasin and Sarah Arriaga edited this new book. It offers a collection of articles devoted to tribal libraries and archives and provides an opportunity to share their stories, challenges, achievements, and aspirations to the larger professionl community.

That is Larry Loyie on the lower left hand corner of the new book.

Thank you to Loriene Roy for this great honour.

Larry Loyie recently gave a talk to Masters students at the iSchool in Austin on the history of Canadian residential schools. He introduced his story as a residential school survivor in his powerful children's/youth books As Long as the Rivers Flow and Goodbye Buffalo Bay.
