Camille Callison is an Indigenous librarian, archivist, academic, and cultural activist who is a member of the Tsesk iye (Crow) Clan of the Tahltan Nation in what is now known as British Columbia, Canada. She is the University Librarian at the University of the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford. Callison is an advocate for the rights of Indigenous peoples and knowledge, particularly as these rights intersect with GLAM institutions. Callison is actively involved across local, national, and international professional associations related to the library and informational needs of Indigenous peoples, including in her role as co-lead of the National Indigenous Knowledge and Language Alliance (NIKLA).

Education

Callison earned her BA in Anthropology in 2003 and her MLIS with a First Nations Concentration in 2005, from the University of British Columbia. She was mentored by Dr. Gene Joseph, founding librarian of the Xwi7xwa Library. She is a PhD Candidate studying anthropology, with a focus on Indigenous knowledge, through the University of Manitoba.

Career

Academic career and projects

Prior to her position as University Librarian at the University of the Fraser Valley, Callison worked at the University of Manitoba (2012-2021), including in positions such as the first Indigenous Services Librarian, the Indigenous Strategies Librarian, the Learning and Organizational Development Librarian, the Liaison Librarian for Native Studies, Anthropology, and Social Work, and as a member of the university's Indigenous Advisory Circle (2015-2017).

She helped to foster the Indigenous Cultural Competency Training (ICCT) program for University of Manitoba Libraries staff. She also founded the Mazinbiige Indigenous Graphic Novels Collection at the Elizabeth Defoe Library, part of University of Manitoba Libraries. Output from this project included ‘Indigenous Comics and Graphic Novels: An Annotated Bibliography’ and the downloadable ‘Mazinbiige Indigenous Graphic Novel Collection List’.

Callison was on the University of Manitoba's Bid Committee (2012) and Implementation Committee (2013-2015), which worked to bring the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada archives to the University of Manitoba and to form the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

In 2013, Callison served on the Association for Manitoba Archives MAIN-LCSH Working Group, which replaced culturally insensitive LCSH terms for Indigenous peoples and culture with more representative terms for use within the Manitoba Archival Information Network (MAIN) database. This work resulted in the Working Group's listing of subject headings and is visible on MAIN's website.
