In collaboration with the American Indian Resource Center (AIRC) at the University of Utah, the Book Arts Program (BAP) at the J. Willard Marriott Library developed a ‘zine titled Influential Indigenous Leaders. The AIRC drew inspiration from Adrienne Keene’s Book Notable Native People: 50 Indigenous Leaders, Dreamers, and Changemakers from Past and Present. They reached out to the BAP to design a zine that supports K-12 and community outreach and celebrates indigenous histories. The staff and faculty from both programs designed a simple single sheet with photos and descriptions that highlight thirteen Native leaders.

This panel will highlight this project, the people and the work that went into creating it.
