Indigenous Resources

The following page contains a list of online exhibits, thematic guides and links to archival descriptions and material that relate to Indigenous communities throughout Ontario and Canada. 

If your institution has any resources related to Indigenous communities and you would like to add them to the resource page, please contact the AAO Web Administrator.

Please consult the AAO Toward Truth and Reconciliation page for resources related to colonialism, ethics of collection use and digitization, barriers for Indigenous people to institutionally held archival holdings, and the diversification of collections.
