This site is "dedicated to the presentation of unique artwork, photographs, video and sound recordings, which accurately reflect the history, culture and richness of the Native American Experience in North America and has been expanded to include Indian people of Central America and Mexico."

The Canadian Journal of Native Studies
The Canadian Journal of Native Studies is a highly recognized journal in the field of Native Studies. It comes out on a bi-annual basis, and publishes original research which is refereed by peer review. As a general focus, the journal publishes anthropological, historical, sociological, political, legal, educational and cultural issues affecting First Nations people. Although the majority of articles deal with Indigenous peoples in Canada, it also publishes articles dealing with Indigenous peoples world-wide. Volumes 1-16 (1981-1996) are available online with later volumes forthcoming.

First Nations Periodicals Index
The First Nations Periodical Index contains journals of mainly Canadian Native content. This Index is a tool providing access to information about First Nations for students, educators, instructors and researchers. The First Nations Periodical Index is a joint project of the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College, Saskatoon Campus, the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre and the Library Services for Saskatchewan Aboriginal Peoples committee.
