It is my plan for the fall semester to incorporate some of the teaching styles used by the Indigenous peoples.  For this reason, I chose an image of a medicine wheel.

At first I struggled to find what I was looking for as Indigenous peoples have been referred to by several different names.  I tried using Boolean using terms like “First Nations”,  Indigenous,  and Indian, but I did not have much luck until I included “American Native”.  I got some great results using this term, but unfortunately, the information was American, and I try to use Canadian content whenever possible.

By far, I found the Canadian Commons search the easiest to navigate and was also sure that the material found there had an open license.
