The Native American Researcher: Another View of Historical Documents

---

Abstract

Within the last score of years, an increasing number of Native Americans have been researching in libraries and archives across the country. They come seeking information about themselves and their people. Written documents—treaties, diaries, military records, and government reports—created by literate "white men" during the early years of contact between Indians and whites are the existing sources for answers to questions that Native Americans research. They wish to see for themselves what the "white man" has written about them.
