About this Guide
This Guide was created to help everyone in the learning community at Mohawk College see what Indigenous Resources are available in the library. We have used the GoodMinds.com website to inform our labelling of these Indigenous resources. GoodMinds is a First Nations family-owned business that is passionate about Indigenous education.
The resources in this Guide are mainly physical books available in the library across our three locations - Fennell, IAHS and Stoney Creek.
< Look for the label:
The Mohawk College Library is home to many resources by Indigenous authors and on subjects focused on Indigenous communities, art, histories, and contemporary realities.
As such, we are currently using the Indigenous labels created by Mohawk student, Emma Doreen, to identify Indigenous works.
