The Native Americans are not a homogenous population. There are about 500 different tribes grouped together by language group, or by geographic region, or by cultural area. The cultural area concept allows tribes to be organized by a combination of geographical and cultural parameters. The ten major cultural areas are the Arctic, Subarctic, Northeast, Southeast, Plains, Plateau, Southwest, Great Basin, California and Northwest coast. Once you know in which cultural area the tribe you are researching is classified, you can concentrate your research strategy on works covering that particular area. | The Native Americans are not a homogenous population.

Native Americans are also known by other phrases. There are several articles on the Research Wiki whose titles include the terms "American Indian," "Native Races," or "Indians of [a locality]." Searches on the Wiki should be made under each of these terms, as well. | |||
