Metadata Justice in Oklahoma Libraries & Archives Symposium.https://hdl.handle.net/11244/338986Western cataloging systems organize information by subject and are created through a western lens. Indigenous communities organize information according to other factors, notably: cosmology, geography, language, and a sense of being. Our library created and actively uses the Fus Fixico (“Angry Bird” in Muskogee 'Creek' Language) Classification System (FFCS). FFCS is named after the Fus Fixico letters, which were written by Alexander Posey, a Muscogee Humorist, who served as secretary at the Sequoyah Constitutional Convention. FFCS borrows elements from the Brian Deer Classification System, Dewey, and Graph Theory to create a more inclusive system that empowers improved metadata and LoC subjects to thrive, while also still providing for user-friendly collocationClassificationSubject catalogingLibrary metadataPresentationFFCSBristow Public LibraryLocal classification schemes
