Thanks for sharing this Max.

Would love to see a BDC movement transform or replace DDC.

B.C. First Nations council is moving to Indigenous-developed library system

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/cstc-library-dewey-brian-deer-1.5726732

Introduction: The Dewey decimal classification has long been the standard of organizing library collections around the world, but a First Nations tribal council in B.C.'s Central Interior says it will ditch the system because of its colonial legacy. The Carrier Sekani Tribal Council is transitioning to the Brian Deer Classification System, which was developed by the late Kahnawake Mohawk librarian Alec Brian Deer in the 1970s. Its taxonomy is based on the geographical locations of Indigenous communities.
