This terminology is disrespectful and hurtful. We sincerely apologize for any pain this may cause. We are currently working towards changing this aspect of the library system. Unfortunately these changes can take time and we appreciate your patience and understanding. The good news is that our newer resources are all using the more representative and respectful subject term Indigenous Peoples.
