Search Terminology
Books on Indigenous peoples of Canada can be found in UW Libraries Search by using a variety of keywords and terms, however for a more comprehensive search you may want to also include designated Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) as search terms. Most U.S. libraries use this official terminology to describe the content of a book. You will usually need to use a variety of subject headings including broad terms such as Indians of North America and Indigenous peoples, as well as narrower terms such as the names of specific groups (e.g., Tlingit), places (e.g., Nunavut, Tobique Indian Reserve) and people (e.g., Ma-Nee Chacaby).
