Research tips

Resources use different subject terms for research of Indians of North America, Native North Americans, First Nations or Indigenous people.  It is usually acceptable and crossed referenced to use either the term American Indians or Native Americans.

Resources are also dedicated to individual tribes which may have variant spellings or names. Example: Navajo (formerly Navaho) is also called Diné.

When searching by keyword in full text documents and resources keep in mind that some resources use terms which are now considered unacceptable.
