Demonstrating Inclusion and Allyship: Amplifying an Indigenous Voice Through Physical and Digital Exhibition

Abstract

In this chapter, I discuss how I displayed resources to help promote the knowledge that the Navajo people have “always had the rule of law” and to amplify the Navajo writer, Joseph K. Austin, behind that knowledge.3 To support and demonstrate the need for further inclusion, I provide a literature review of scholarship and detail the genesis of the physical and digital exhibits I curated from the works cited by Austin in his article, “The Words of the Talking God: Building and Sustaining Native Nations Through the Common Law.” I describe my collaboration with Austin and other colleagues from my law library and discuss how future collaboration is sustainable.
