Content Advisory

Some of the collections included in this LibGuide contain material representing the historical experience of indigenous peoples as authored by European settler communities, Christian religious organizations, government agencies, and non-indigenous scholars and scientists, as well as indigenous individuals and organizations. These resources utilize a variety of terms as applied to indigenous peoples and express attitudes that reflect ideas and prejudices at their point of creation. Some of these terms and attitudes will appear pejorative and expressive of ideas that are no longer regarded as acceptable, such as the outright elimination by assimilation or detribalization of Indigenous identities both individually and collectively. These materials are provided for academic research and teaching purposes. Gale's expert editorial staff includes this content in consultation with our source library partners and scholarly advisors and does not endorse any specific views contained within the content.
