Abstract: There is limited research on how academic libraries acquire Indigenous audiovisual media productions (IAMPs) from Latin American regions, and the representation of these materials is scarce in current vendor offerings. The purpose of this study is to understand how IAMPs are distributed from Latin American regions to universities in the United States. This study reports on interviews with thirteen individuals who work for production and distribution companies. The findings illustrate a distribution network that is difficult to navigate, characterized by complex licensing and underdeveloped relationships. The conclusion of this paper highlights the need for academic libraries to develop reciprocal collaborative partnerships with Indigenous creators and educational distributors to increase the representation of IAMPs in library collections and educational distributor product offerings.
