“I am humbled to have written a multicultural-based conference paper as a service instrument entitled: FINDING THE BALANCE IN BOTH INDIGENOUS AND MULTICULTURAL LIBRARIANSHIP THROUGH CAJETE’S “LOOK TO THE MOUNTAIN.”

Abstract

Multicultural librarianship begins and ends its cycle with an indigenous protocol that entails respect not only for the client’s tribal personality and history (being) but also for the ones who are providing the indigenous and multicultural library info-reference services. Both must mutually pray (asking) for engaging and spiritually enriched library experiences while accessing (seeking) information objects to balance (making) native wisdom with western thinking or vice-versa. An indigenous customer science and/or chemistry (having) is central to the cycle where resonance may be challenged or tested. If they co-exist well, a cultural and linguistic diversity (sharing) takes place in the library spaces which should be treasured and valued (celebrating) by all who have witnessed such phenomenon.
