      Here are a few resources that may help you with your research projects. Be cautious with your internet searches. Not all sites are authentic and not all sites are up to date with their information. Please read the copyright information and request permission to use material from websites. Make sure that you cite any material taken from the internet or books.  In order to build a database of credible resources, please add to the list by sending your instructor the link to your 'most amazing resource' and provide a sentence or two explaining the purpose of the website.

      * Disclaimer: These links are by no means all the legitimate and valid sites available on the topic of Aboriginal peoples in Alberta, Canada, North America/South America or the world! Should you find a site that you feel should be included, please send the link to your instructor with a short synopsis of the purpose/function of the site. You will find more links to specific communities in Alberta below. You will also find relevant links in each of the lessons and/or assignments. 

    • First Nations, Metis and Inuit Communities in Alberta - Newsletters, Community Websites, Magazines Page

      The links will take you to online magazines, newsletters, and Aboriginal community websites that may be valuable in your research,  to supplement your assignments and for your personal interest.

    • Metis Communities in Alberta - Map Page

      Unfortunately, there is not an interactive map of the Metis communities in Alberta. The map that was provided is somewhat dated (2006) but has been included here to demonstrate the significant number of Metis communities that exist in Alberta.

    • Inuit Communities Profiles Database and Map Page

      Inuit live in 54 Inuit communities across the northern regions of Canada. Explore the interactive map to learn about their location, traditional name, population, and other statistics. Unfortunately, the interactive map is not working correctly so the link will take you to the database which provides a 'table-like' compilation of the data.
