Indigenous Peoples' Day

 In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the Library would like to highlight the following materials:

HeinOnline offers a database, Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. This database includes tribal codes, indigenous peoples' treaties, Supreme Court briefs, and legislative histories.

The Handbook of North American Indians offers an "encyclopedic summary of prehistory, history, cultures and political and social aspects of native peoples."

Mann v. Ford (DVD, 2011) chronicles the legal fight of the Ramapo against automobile giant Ford when an assembly plant dumps paint sludge and other industrial waste in the Native Americans' backyard. 

Crude (DVD, 2009) depicts an Amazon tribe's legal struggle against oil giant Chevron.

If you would like to check any of these out, or have any other questions, the Library is here for you!
