Explore these sample topics in the Library's catalogue!
Note: Language used to organize material relating to Indigenous Peoples in the Library of Congress cataloguing system (the one used in our catalogue) is frequently historical and outdated compared to current usage. Older items may be catalogued under terms like "Indians" or "Micmac", for example, while newer items are catalogued under "indigenous" and "Mi'kmaq". While efforts are ongoing to update the terminology the catalogue uses, you will probably need to search using a variety of terminology to make sure you aren't missing important items.
