In times of uncertainty, it is more important than ever to hold the line — to stand together, to share knowledge, and to strengthen the work we do. While we recognize that IMLS funding is still uncertain, we remain committed to hosting a powerful and inspiring gathering. That’s why we are happy to share that the 2025 Conference Program is available, and registration is open.

PROGRAMMING

In response to these challenging times and evolving institutional responsibilities, ATALM is offering intensive programs that support Indigenous-led solutions in the stewardship of cultural heritage. Programs include:

Creating Protocols for Shared Stewardship of Native Cultural Materials
A National Summit on Voluntary Return of Protocols
Advancing Ethical Stewardship of Indigenous Oral Histories
Strengthening Institutional Support for Native Artists and Culture Bearers
Caring for Indigenous Collections Institute

View the full lineup of sessions, workshops, keynotes presenters, and networking opportunities in the Preliminary Program. 

REGISTRATION

$400 for members and $425 for non-members. As a result of pre-registration, some tours and evening events are nearing capacity, so you are encouraged to register soon to secure a spot.

We hope to see you in Cherokee, North Carolina!  Now more than ever, standing strong together matters.
