This guide collects links to library and other online resources and provides guidance to support and information about a variety of types of materials and content.
The Libraries work to support the West Virginia University Native American Studies Program (WVU NAS). The WVU NAS Program has an extensive collection of research materials and expertise, and is a strong supporter of the WVU Libraries. Native American Studies is an interdisciplinary field, and the WVU program includes experts and instructors from many disciplines conducting research, teaching, and service activities and offering programming for the local and wider community.
Should you have any suggestions or questions about this guide, please contact the Librarian liaison to the NAS Program, (contact information below).
The Corona Virus (COVID-19) disproportionately impacts Native Americans and this guide is spotlighting sources about COVID and the intersection with health inequity with a collection of places to start on the COVID-19 in Indian Country page.
Many library sources are available only to WVU users. You may be prompted to authenticate with your WVU ID and DUO 2-factor identification.
Experiment with your search terms in these three library databases to locate academic sources for your research.
