Saskatchewan Indigenous Subject Headings: Resources for Implementation

Subject Headings

These subject headings were developed after a series of engagement sessions held with Indigenous Peoples from across Saskatchewan, and focus on groups, languages and events that are specific to Saskatchewan or of broad significance. As such, not every subject heading in Library of Congress that relates to Indigenous Peoples is covered here, nor is every potential permutation of a subject heading listed.

Recommendations related to cultural groups and languages can be applied to more general headings as required. Headings related to Indigenous groups from elsewhere in Canada are also not included.
