Written by a group of highly respected Indigenous Studies scholars from across an array of disciplines, Sources and Methods in Indigenous Studies is a synthesis of changes and innovations in methodologies in Indigenous Studies, focusing on sources over a broad chronological and geographical range. Part I examines ways that Indigenous Studies has forged its own intellectual path by borrowing and innovating from other fields. Part II examines the many different areas with which sources for indigenous history have been engaged, including: the importance of family, gender, feminism, and sexuality, as well as various elements of expressive culture such as material culture, literature, and museums.
