Resource Advisory
|
Previously called American Indian Histories and Cultures, in 2024 Adam Matthew changed the name to Indigenous Histories and Cultures in North America. AM state that “This change is a result of an ongoing review examining diversity and representation in relation to our resources. AM is committed to creating inclusive products. While we understand that self-description differs across communities, we believe it is important to make this change to avoid any further use of terminology that is offensive to some Indigenous peoples. Before implementing these changes, AM sought consultation from the academic and library community across North America. We would like to sincerely thank all of those who entered into this discussion with us for their contributions and expertise.” For more information see the AM website.
