November is a time to recognize the importance of and contributions by Indigenous Peoples all over the Americas. Indigenous Peoples are sometimes known as First Nations, American Indians, or Native Americans collectively, but individual nations should be named and respected distinctively. The Midwest United States sits on the lands of the Potawatomi / Potowatomi, Ottawa / Odawa, Chippewa, Ojibwe / Anishinaabeg, Ho-Chunk, Huron, Oneida / Iroquois, Sac and Fox, Sioux, Menominee, Omaha, Miami, Kaskaskia, Kickapoo, Wyandot, Mahican, Nanticoke, Mohegan, Wea, Piankashaw, Shawnee, Delaware, and Eel River nations, among others.
The library has created a page on our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guide which highlights Native American Health resources and focuses on various aspects of their population health and contains references to improve the care of diverse and heterogenous patients.
