Abstract
Introduction from the article, "Studies of indigenous people in North America have grown significantly in the last generation. While they began largely in the writings of anthropologists, missionaries and government administrators, today’s indigenous studies are multidisciplinary and cover the literatures of the social sciences, the humanities, and the sciences. They extend from the populations of Canada’s Arctic North to Northern Mexico and from Hawaii to the Caribbean. There is a real need for in-depth indexing on Native topics that meets the specialized needs of scholars in these fields. There is also growing consciousness that indigenous people deserve to speak for themselves; that their stories will differ in many ways from the stories that have been told for them. Access to primary source documents such as census records, treaties, and tribal membership rolls, especially those which were removed to the Indian Territory and underwent allotment of their lands in the nineteenth century can provide insights not available from secondary sources. With this goal, we have chosen two sources published by EBSCO that provide in-depth information on Native North Americans."
