Searching Tips & Techniques

Before you start your search, try to compile a list of potential keywords. This is always a good idea, but it is beneficial for conducting searches in a field such as Native American Studies. A good first place to start is to identify possible culture group names for your search.

Use common keywords such as Native American, Amerindian, Indian, First Peoples, or Indigenous.
Search by particular tribe, nation, or cultural group name (for example, Arapaho or Shoshone)
Combine tribal names with a topical word (e.g., Sioux mythology)
Browse the subject Indians of North America or Indigenous in the Library Catalog, OneSearch, eJournals, Databases, and even the Wyoming State Library.
If you are looking for a specific event or ceremony, use the name of that event. For example, you can search for "Native American Church" under subject.
For best results, try an advanced keyword search using the terms Religion, Mythology, or Ceremony (as appropriate) combined with any or all of your identified keywords.
Putting your search term within quotes (e.g., "Turtle Island") may produce more relevant content.
