Other Native Studies Sites
Whether it is Legal, Historical, Educational, Health or Cultural Information related to Native Studies, the Indigenous Studies Portal indexes it and links to it. The site is searchable as well as organized by topical areas of interest. Indigenous Studies Portal comes to us from the University of Saskatchewan Libraries. While indexing is freely available, some content is only available if your library holds it in its collection, so you will need to consult your library’s catalog or request it via Inter-Library Loans. Fortunately iPortal facilitates this if your library has registered its link resolver with iPortal.
