Abstract
ABSTRACT Native American communities face extreme challenges in the archival preservation of their historical documents. For many tribal repositories, a lack of funding, insufficient archival training, and the lack of clear collection development have meant that critical documentation of the tribal historical record is at risk. This paper describes the author's 1998 summer internship at the Hatathli Museum at Dine College on the Navajo Reservation and expands on her experiences there to discuss these larger issues. The article examines some of the archival community's responses to these challenges and makes suggestions for further research.
