Although from a Canadian point of view, the themes discussed will be applicable to Native Peoples of the U.S.. The author discusses the fundamental issues--the terminology of relationships; culture and identity; myth-busting; state violence; and land, learning, law and treaties--along with wider social beliefs about these issues. She answers the questions that many people have on these topics to spark further conversations at home, in the classroom, and in the larger community.
Libraries, archives, museums and other cultural institutions all around the world are actively reviewing their approaches to collecting and disseminating information about Native Peoples. Below are some guides to changes related to Native studies.
