University of British Columbia: “One Decolonizing Change to Subject Headings at UBC Library”
From a Xwi7xwa Library Blog Post:
As
we come to the end of Indigenous Peoples’ History Month, Technical Services and Xwi7xwa Library are pleased to announce a recent step undertaken in the Library’s effort to decolonize Indigenous subject headings. You may have noticed that many thousands of Xwi7xwa records previously containing the term “First Nations” now use the broader heading Aboriginal Canadians.
