Native American Studies: Bibliography of Resources at the WWU Libraries

American Indian Studies: Research Guide
The Libraries, Western Washington University
Compiled by: Robyn Adcox, Reference Specialist,
for Jeanne Armstrong  Librarian for American Cultural Studies

This research guide is an introduction to materials in the Western Washington University libraries.  Use the Library Catalog to locate books and other materials. Access the library's print or electronic indexes to locate journal articles; from the Library homepage, select Articles & Databases by subject,  then select American Cultural Studies.

The Library of Congress uses the term "Indians" for the aboriginal peoples of the Western Hemisphere, e.g., "Indians of North America," "Indians of Mexico." Geographic subject headings are also used for tribes within the United States, e.g. "Indians of North America--Washington," Indians of North America--Northwest." In addition, individual tribal names are used as appropriate ("Hopi Indians," "Navajo Indians," "Lummi Indians"). If the book is about one tribe, it will have that tribe's name as a subject heading.
