| Session: T126 Title: Beginning Your Research of Indigenous People: Native, Indigenous, First Nations |
|
| The first peoples of North and South America have been instrumental in developing world medicines and foods and the civilizations of the Western Hemisphere while continuing to steward ancient cultures, languages, and lifeways. Beginning research of your Indigenous ancestors requires considerations of geography, culture, languages, and naming patterns. Learn how to find your way through a step-by-step process.

This lecture represents her own cultural sharing as well as classic genealogical methods and tools. |
