Scientific Literature Relevant to the Environmental Health of
Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, and Subsistence Hunter/Gatherers

The following is a listing of journal articles, government reports, and other information resources pertaining to the unique environmental concerns and needs of the Native American and Alaskan peoples. Much of this information is also relevant to subsistence use of plants and animals harvested from the wild, as well as from residential gardens.

This listing is derived from literature and internet searches. Each addition is reviewed beforehand, to ensure that it will provide valuable, objective information.

A Note of Explanation: In the future, we hope to replace this page by an interface to a database. This will allow much better browsing through our selections. Until then, please use the "find" or "search" function on your browser to search for articles of interest to you.
