Abstract
The main purpose of the IFLA Indigenous Matters Section is to support the provision of culturally response and effective services to Indigenous communities throughout the world. The main objective is to promote international cooperation in the fields of library, culture, knowledge, and information services to Indigenous communities that meet their intergenerational, community, cultural, and language needs. The Indigenous Matters Section encourages Indigenous leadership within the sector and the exchange of experiences, education, training, and research by connecting, collaborating, and working cooperatively with other IFLA Sections, national Indigenous library associations, the International Indigenous Librarians Forum, and Indigenous cultural memory professionals. During the World Library and Information Congress in 2019, the idea for a special issue of IFLA Journal focused on Indigenous issues in libraries and librarianship was born. When the IFLA Indigenous Matters Section was approached about such a task, the committee discussed the idea and agreed to take on the task with great enthusiasm for sharing Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we bring this unique collection of articles to contribute to the ongoing conversation surrounding Indigenous knowledge and its intergeneration transmission within libraries and cultural memory institutions. The members of the Indigenous Matters Section are often asked: “What do you mean by Indigenous?” Or “Who exactly is Indigenous?” Although different countries recognize different definitions for the term, the United Nations agreed on the following definition, as given by José R Martı́nez Cobo in 1987:
国际图联土著事务科的主要目的是支持为世界各地的土著社区提供文化响应和有效服务。其主要目标是促进图书馆、文化、知识和信息服务领域的国际合作,以满足土著社区的代际、社区、文化和语言需要。土著事务科通过与国际图联其他分科、国家土著图书馆协会、国际土著图书馆员论坛和土著文化记忆专业人士的联系、协作和合作,鼓励土著在该领域发挥领导作用,并交流经验、教育、培训和研究。在2019年世界图书馆与信息大会期间,国际图联期刊特刊关注图书馆和图书馆事业中的土著问题的想法诞生了。当国际图联土著事务科就这样一项任务接洽时,委员会讨论了这个想法,并同意以极大的热情承担这项任务,分享土著知识和认识方式。因此,我们非常高兴地将这些独特的文章收藏带到图书馆和文化记忆机构中,为围绕土著知识及其代际传播的持续对话做出贡献。土著事务科的成员经常被问到:“你所说的土著是什么意思?”或者“到底谁是土著人?”虽然不同的国家承认这个词的不同定义,但联合国同意以下定义,如joss R marturynez Cobo在1987年给出的:
