Recommended Databases

For centuries Indigenous wisdom has been overlooked in academic publishing and scientific inquiry in Western/European societies and Global North countries. In recent decades, thanks to many Indigenous scholars, much work and many ideas have been shared. However, Native and Indigenous perspectives can still be difficult to locate in many libraries or databases. Please contact a librarian for help!
