Specific Terms
You may also find a combination of general terms and specific terms helpful. For example, "Linguistics; Blackfoot; and Indians of North America" will restrict searches better than only Blackfoot.
Blackfoot | Cree |
Sarcee | Tsilhqot'in |
Dene Suline/Chipewya | Athabaskan |
Carrier | Siouan |
Chilcotin | Stoney (Nakoda) |
It is also important to account for spelling variations. For example, the modern Sarcee can also be spelt Sarci, or Tsuu T'ina may be spelt Tsu Tina.
