Indigenous Library Resources

Resources related to Native American and Indigenous studies within the Harvard Library are available in the Indigenous Studies research guide and the Indigenous Languages research guide created by Julie Fiveash, former Librarian for American Indigenous Studies at the Tozzer Library.

If you have more specific research questions or questions about Indigenous library materials in the Harvard Library, please contact the Tozzer Library (tozzerlibrary@fas.harvard.edu). If you have a general Harvard Library question, please visit the Ask A Librarian page and chat with librarian or email or question.

Tozzer Library provides two study carrels to anyone affiliated with HUNAP. The study carrels will be available to book in 4 hour increments and are housed in the bottom floor of Tozzer Library across from the elevator. Reserve a carrel at https://libcal.library.harvard.edu/reserve/hunap/carrels.

If you have questions about the carrels, feel free to contact Tozzer Library about the space (tozzerlibrary@fas.harvard.edu).

Tozzer Library additionally houses the Indigenous Knowledge Collection. This collection strives to incorporate not just diverse Native voices within academic texts but diverse materials themselves, such as board games, comics, zines, and more.

The areas of focus within the Indigenous Knowledge Collection include:

• Zines and zine making

• Comics and graphic novels

• 2SLGBTQIA+ and Indigiqueer materials

• Cooking and foodways

• Indigenous board games

• Indigenous language cultivation

This collection is located on the first floor of the Tozzer Library on the left as you enter the main entrance.
