I am proud to share the website my students and I collaborated on this term showcasing UCLA's Ainu-related collections! ✨ Together we researched holdings of the library, Special Collections, and Fowler Museum to document and enhance catalog information on their materials. peopleofthenorth.github.io

Screencap of a website titled "People of the North: Ainu Collections at UCLA" with subsections titled "Home" "About" "Ainu History" "Mapping the North" "Ainu as Objects" and "Ainu Through Objects". In the head background is a painted picture of a bear laid out in front of Ainu figures with offerings and goods as part of the iyomante ceremony.

I am beyond sad about the death of Marjane Satrapi. As a fan of BD, I loved her work. As an Iranian, I loved her ethics and passion. As a person, I looked up to her. She was the same age as my sister and had very similar experiences which made me feel close to her. She will be sorely missed. RIP.
