SDSL Database Highlight | Indigenous Peoples North America
The South Dakota State Library now provides another database from GALE. This one is called Indigenous Peoples: North America and it's for researching and learning about the many native people of the United States and Canada.
The database includes important primary sources in addition to manuscripts, newspapers, periodicals, photograph collections, motion pictures, and images of artwork. Broadly, subjects include the political, social, and cultural history of North American native peoples from the 16th to the 20th century.
This database is a strong tool to use to fortify more general resources. It allows students to really dig into the past to discover the background of the ideas and cultures that have defined Indigenous peoples in our country and beyond.
If you're a South Dakotan, you have free access to this and 50+ other databases. Simply go to library.sd.gov > Databases > and search for Indigenous Peoples
Here's a quick snapshot of the homepage...
