Indigenous Resources

We created this guide to help St. Clair College students who are researching or interested in learning more about Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Indigenous Research

Indigenous research involves “research in any field or discipline that is conducted by, grounded in or engaged with First Nations, Inuit, Métis or other Indigenous nations, communities, societies or individuals, and their wisdom, cultures, experiences or knowledge systems, as expressed in their dynamic forms, past and present. Indigenous research can embrace the intellectual, physical, emotional and/or spiritual dimensions of knowledge in creative and interconnected relationships with people, places and the natural environment” (From Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, 2020). 

Books in the Library

Our library print and electronic collection contains a number of books to meet the research and recreational needs for Indigenous, Aboriginal, First Nation and Métis peoples, culture, and topics.
