Native American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month

In recognition of National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, the McKusick Law Library's latest display features items from its Native American Law collection. The display includes general Native reference resources, such as William N. Thompson's Native American Issues, and Jerry D. Stubben's Native Americans and Political Participation. Also included are books focused on more specific geographical and societal themes, such as Donald Craig Mitchell's Sold American: The Story of Alaska Natives and Their Land, R. David Edmund's Enduring Nation: Native Americans in the Midwest (the Native experience in the Great Lakes region), and Christopher Vecsey's Handbook of American Indian Religious Freedom. In addition, the display contains one of the Library's copies of the South Dakota Humanities Council's 2012 One Book South Dakota title, Dammed Indians Revisited, authored by Michael Lawson. These books are only a few of the books concerning Native history and heritage that are available to be checked out from the Law Library.
