Readings in Canadian Native Studies.
Price, John A.
Wicazo Sa Review, v2 n2 p37-43 Fall 1986
After noting that Canadian and American scholars virtually ignore each other in the field of Native Studies, this paper summarizes sources of information for anyone interested in Canadian Native studies. The introduction mentions university programs and departments, newspaper coverage of Native issues, number of books and monographs published per year, and 11 Native studies journals. A list of 66 pioneers who have published in Canadian Native studies is arranged initially by geographic region and then in a rough sequence by date of publication. Each author's major fields of study are included. The list can be used to track down early publications concerning particular topics or Native societies. The final section provides 127 references selected to meet 5 criteria: (1) published since 1970; (2) in English; (3) wide availability in university libraries; (4) comprehensive coverage for an introduction to Canadian Native studies in all its diversity; and (5) good quality within a sub-field of Native studies. Entries are arranged alphabetically under the subject headings of general (5 entries), native authors (8), archaeology (6), art (9), cultural anthropology (25), economics (8), education (2), history (28), linguistics and literature (9), medicine (3), politics and law (12), religion (7), and sociology and social work (5).
