The
Treatment of Indigenous Peoples in the
United
States and Canada
By Brandi Beougher
This web page is a pathfinder
for research on the historic treatment of indigenous peoples in the United
States and Canada. It is designed to give the user an in depth view of
the best resources available in researching the origins and sources of
Native North Americans rights to self-determination and sovereignty. In
particular, this web page will serve as a guide to the most useful and
comprehensive materials available on the subject. This pathfinder will
primarily focus on the historic treatment of the people indigenous to the
United States and Canada and the development of Indian Law in these countries,
but will also provide some insight into the issues surrounding self-determination
and sovereignty today.
This web page has been established by Brandi Beougher for Professor Mike Chiorazzi’s Advanced Legal Research course at the University of Arizona College of Law.
