Native North America > Reference Resources By Topic HistoryA rich new vein of historical publications, many by native peoples themselves, has emerged within the last fifteen years. These works serve as a counterbalance to the years of histories written by non-natives. Topics of immediate concern have been how to protect cultural patrimony (languages, arts, life ways), preserving the past, and documentation of native contributions to North America. Most importantly, many recent histories are correcting inaccuracies about native activities that appeared in earlier publications, and adding an essential native perspective to new historical evaluations.
