ABSTRACT
The Library of Congress has a wealth of information on North
American Indian people but does not have a separate collection or section
devoted to them. The nature of the Librarv's broad subject divisions, variety
of formats, and methods of acquisition have dispersed relevant material among
a number of divisions. This guide aims to help the researcher to encounter
Indian people through the Library's collections and to enhance the Library
staff's own ability to assist with that encounter. The guide is arranged by
collections or divisions within the Library and focuses on American Indian
and Alaska Native peoples within the United States. Each section includes an
introductory description, information on using the collections and their
reading room, and descriptions or annotations for selected books and
(1) general collections (main reading room,
collections. Sections include':
catalogs and Internet access, children's literature center, local history and
genealogy reading room, periodicals, microform reading room, multimedia
(3) manuscript
(2) rare book and special collections division;
formats);
division (master record of manuscript collections, register, National Union
(4) the Law Library of Congress;
Catalog of Manuscript Collections);
(5)
(7) Motion
(6) Geography and Maps Division;
Prints and Photographs Division;
(8) Music Division and
Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division;
Recorded Sound Reference Center; and (9) American Folklife Center. In
addition, the guide contains "gateways," thematic summaries of major Indian
subject areas in the collections. Includes an index and many photographs and
illustrations.

ON THE TITLE PAGE:
Tawa (Sun) Kachina, drawing by the author for the Zuni story "The Foster Child of the Deer from The Kachinas are Coming
by Gene Meany Hodge (Flagstaff, Arizona: Northland Press, 1967); E99.P9H66 1967 (LC-USZC4-4801). General Collections.
In Pueblo sacred rites, kachinas (or sacred personages) are represented by masked men. Pueblo children are instructed in the
tribal religion through kachina effigies, or dolls, made by the men in the kivas, or ceremonial chambers, during breaks be-
tween ceremonies. This kachina represents the Zuni Sun Priest. The illustrations for this book of Pueblo mythology were
based on the kachina dolls in the collections of the
Southwest Museum of Los Angeles
