What are some of the archives?
The archives NAI keeps are tangible objects that remind us of this organization’s past and of the good work of individual interpreters. Some of the more unusual artifacts are: membership pins that belonged to Bob Jennings; the original storyteller sculpture that belongs to the CINP section (Council for the Interpretation of Native Peoples); the AIN owl; some first edition books and books signed by the authors; original “paste-ups” for the covers for The Interpreter when it was published in the 1970s; and wonderful satchels of hand-written notes that Josh Barkin used in his interpretive talks.
