Text on safety in Budapest - for AIW 2023 website
by Gyorgy Toth 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

Dear AIW Committee Members - As the off-site AIW 2023 conference organizing assistant, I have developed some language on safety in Budapest. This tries to address concerns about safety, including by our LGBTQ and otherwise abled members. The text, attached here, should be accompanied by a much more exhaustive assessment of safety for the whole country, by a British travel agency, also attached here. This should give our colleagues a chance to get informed more thoroughly . If you feel that this language is adequate, I am proposing that it be added to the AIW 2023 conference website. It can also be added to the program, if you feel that is needed - with a link to the country report on the website. Kindly let us know if you think that this is acceptably addresses issues of safety in Budapest for AIW 2023. With personal and collegial greetings - Gyorgy "George" Toth, M.A., Ph.D., FRHS, FHEA (He/him) Lecturer in Post-1945 US History & Transatlantic Relations Division of History and Politics Faculty of Arts and Humanities University of Stirling Stirling FK9 4LA Scotland, United Kingdom Email: gyorgy.toth(a)stir.ac.uk<mailto:gyorgy.toth@stir.ac.uk> Online: https://www.stir.ac.uk/people/257093 Book: Memory in Transatlantic Relations From the Cold War to the Global War on Terror. https://bit.ly/32aCjfQ ________________________________ Scotland's University for Sporting Excellence The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159

Spam Emails
by Reni Bartl 28 Mar '23

28 Mar '23

Dear all, the AIW server is constantly under heavy attacks by hackers. We have the highest standard of anti-hacking and spam protection software installed on our server. Patrick, our IT Manager, is responsible for the internet security of the Deutsche Bundestag and the EU Parliament. Therefore, it is rather impossible that our server gets hacked. If you get spam emails, telling you that your mailbox is full, or that there are problems with the webpage www.american-indian-workshop.org <http://www.american-indian-workshop.org> , these are spam mails. For all those who have an american-indian-workshop.org (museum@...; journal@...) email address, I can send the spamming email addresses to Patrick and he will block them on the mail server. Current addresses I have sent to him for blocking are: debre(a)engin-inc.com <mailto:debre@engin-inc.com> noreplay(a)cpanel.net <mailto:noreplay@cpanel.net> noreply(a)serverhost.com <mailto:noreply@serverhost.com> You can send me further addresses of spammers for being blocked on the mail server. If the spam mails are sent to your private address, block the sender's address as spam mail. I assume the spammers draw the email addresses from our AIW webpage, so if you want your email address or the direct email link be removed from the webpage or written with an [at] instead of @, I can do that. Although this is not suggestable for official AIW email addresses. Best, Renate

AIW 2025
by Reni Bartl 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

Dear all, I have written to Mathilde, whether she will be able to organize an AIW in 2025, as she told me last year already that she might not have time to do so, because of other projects she needs to plan. Now she answered that unfortunately she won't be able to organize an AIW in 2025. I suggested to her that maybe she can plan for an AIW in 2026. I will write to Avelino, that he should come to the Business Meeting in Budapest to introduce himself and his plans for Madrid in 2025. Avelino told me he plans to come if the health of his parents will allow for that. Best, Renate

AIW Candidate for 2025
by Renate Bartl 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Dear all, I have got a request from Avelino Corral Esteban, Dpto. Filología Inglesa, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, who would be interested to organize the 2025 AIW in Madrid/Spain. I know Avelino, because he was a participant in one of my Virtual Canadian Studies e-Learning Courses on Indigenous Peoples of Canada. He does not know yet whether he can come to the AIW in Budapest. If he comes, he can present his application in the Business Meeting, if not, I will inform about it during the meeting. Best Renate

WG: AW: List Servs name
by AIW - Bartl 27 Jan '23

27 Jan '23

Dear all, below is the answer to my email to Laura Phillips. It is clear, that she does not know who we are and what we do – and I have the impression she thinks we are total idiots over here in Europe. I get many emails like this from people who are dissatisfied e.g. with CFPs I am sending out, telling me I should not have sent out certain CFPs, because they don’t like them, and who want to press me into endless discussions. Usually, I do not answer to their emails anymore, because I have more important things to do. Interestingly it is always Canadians who are that dogmatic and start such discussions with me! I will stop the discussion with here now, but if you want to continue the discussion, feel free to write to her. Moreover, I had a nerve removed from a tooth yesterday and my answer would not be too polite, I fear. Have a nice weekend! Renate Von: laura phillips <laulaupip(a)yahoo.co.uk> Gesendet: Freitag, 27. Januar 2023 13:24 An: bartl(a)american-indian-workshop.org Betreff: Re: AW: List Servs name Hi thank you - I wanted to send this just to the list Serv moderator not the whole list Serv. Thanks for the explanation and your contact details. I'm writing from Canada where the term Indian in any capacity is absolutely unacceptable. Perhaps you would have more Indigenous members from turtle Island if the organization had a meeting say, on Turtle Island, rather than only in Europe ? Or if you made the meetings available virtually so there could be more Indigenous presence? Is the purpose of your organization to talk 'about' or 'with'? I do hope you will virtually watch the upcoming talk by Nikita Collinson at the Canadian Museum Association conference on 'nothing about us, without us'. In any case as a settler living on stolen land, which I assume you are not, i chose to be cautious and respectful to all of my many Indigenous colleagues, friends and hosts :) you may not have considered the power dynamics at play and how the Indigenous people present at the meeting may have felt scrutinized and expected to perform for the white gaze - all things I try to keep in mind when assuming people feel comfortable and free to express their opinions when in fact they do not. Regarding the vote - I assume only the Indigenous members present were invited to vote? Since the name impacts them directly? If you could share your email contact details with me I can pass them on to any Indigenous colleagues who share my dislike of this old fashioned terminology.

The American Indian Workshop is an organization which operates the list server, so what you are actually asking is to change the name of our organization. This can only be done by our members at the general meeting of our organization which is the AIW Business Meeting during our annual workshop. We are fully aware of the problems regarding terms like “Native American,” “(American) Indian,“ “Indigenous,” “First Nation,” or “Turtle Island,” and we have discussed name changes several times in the past during our general meetings. The last time we had this discussion was at the AIW Business Meeting 2016 in Odense/Denmark. At this Business Meeting Native American, American Indian, Indigenous, and First Nation people were present and there was a democratic vote for keeping our name. Our Native American colleagues suggested to keep the name American Indian Workshop, because it is a traditional term used since 1980 and our workshop should stay specialized on Native American, American Indian, First Nation and Inuit people. The term “indigenous” was seen as too inclusive. Maybe you can accept this democratic vote of our members? If not, the proper procedure would be to come to our AIW Business Meeting in Budapest in June this year and suggest the name change, presenting arguments why we should do so. Then we can a democratic vote on your claim. Additionally, I want to inform you that there are ca. 850 members and institutions on our mailing list from all over the world, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, including First Nation people. They all can live with our name and are not embarrassed. Maybe you can live with it, too? If not, let me know whether you will take part in the AIW Business Meeting in Budapest and will suggest a name change and I’ll reserve time for you on our speakers list.

Dear all, this email was sent to our list server tonight. I will not release the email, because this will initiate a discussion on the name of our organization - as we had it many times in the past – and the AIW mail server cannot function as a discussion platform. I don’t know why she reduces us to our list server, when she is calling for a name change of our association. For all who were not attending in 2016: last time we had this discussion on changing our name at the AIW Business Meeting 2016 in Odense/Denmark. At this Business Meeting Native American, American Indian, Indigenous, and First Nation people were present and there was a democratic vote for keeping our name. Our Native American colleagues suggested to keep the name American Indian Workshop, because it is a traditional term used since 1980 and our workshop should stay specialized on Native American, American Indian, First Nation and Inuit people.

The proper procedure would be to come to our AIW Business Meeting in Budapest this year and suggest the name change, presenting arguments why we should do so. If you have any further remarks to that, let me know. If one of you feels like to answer this email, please do so, but let us know what you write to her.

AIW paper discussions - start Pilot testing
by journal＠american-indian-workshop 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

Dear committee members, as you know I’ve made a few proposals how to handle the AIW presentations and which kind of options we would have to prepare publications. The suggestion was to implement a 2 step approach and to start with a kind of a repository where presenters‘ papers can be uploaded in order to discuss them within the community. The tool I proposed for this issue would be chargeable. So during the last business meeting (see protocol June, 14th 2122) the AIW decided to launch a non-profit association in order to finance the activities and have a stable baseline for other planning. For the time being I’m thankful that Thomas Jacobs gave me a hint to another tool which ist cost free („Discord“). Although it originates in gaming environments it meets our purposes for this step. We had a first test phase and now I’d like to start with a real pilot related to the presentations of the 43rd workshop in Luxembourg. This has already been coordinated with Carlo Krieger. In general the plan is to discuss only presenters‘ papers and to start the upload period after the corresponding AIW to avoid a „cannibalisation“ of the proper AIW. Within the attached paper you will find a documentation how the structure of the AIW Pilot Server is prepared, which roles/legitimations are available and which test steps have been done already. Only the organizers of the real Workshops can use the AIW authors/participants emailing lists due to EU GDPR. Therefore, Carlo will take it upon himself to invite authors to upload their papers and - on a delayed basis - invite participants to comment on the papers (please find a short time table at the end of the attached document als well). >>> I’d appreciate you, the committee, members joining and watching the Pilot testing. The following link will lead you to the AIW Pilot Server. This link is valid for 7 days. You have to register yourself for the tool (email-address/Password). As soon as I’ll see you within the tool I’ll assign the role „committe member“ to you. https://discord.gg/mjw98zDf >>> Furthermore I’d appreciate if the colleagues who had a paper on the last AIW would upload it according to Carlos invitation in December and thus participate actively on the discussion forum. This way we will be able to discuss the experiences during the next Business Meeting in Budapest and decide how to proceed. I’m curious, see you in the tool! with best regards, Sonja Ross, Munich/Germany American Indian Workshop online Journal Email: journal(a)american-indian-workshop.org

New rental fee for our root server

11 Nov '22

Dear all, I have to inform you that the rental fee for our root server with Netcup will be put up from 6,99 EUR/month to 7,60 EUR/month. This new price will be charged beginning in 2023 (I have no exact date yet). Additional to this we have to pay an annual rental fee for our web address www.american-indian-workshop.org, which will stay at 25 EUR/year. By now we have enough money on our bank account to finance the server and webpage for the next 5 years. Best Renate ----- American Indian Workshop (AIW) c/o Dr. phil.

Dear all, during our virtual committee meeting of September 17, 2021, it was suggested to organize a AIW Talkshop in December 2022. James offered to volunteer as organizer of this Talkshop. Are these plans still active? If yes, we should send out a CFP as soon as possible. Best, Renate
