IST: Indigenous Studies

This guide presents selected print and electronic resources in Indigenous studies available through the Camosun College Library and open access web sites.

Indigenous Videos at Camosun

Visit the Indigenous Videos page on the Media Sources at Camosun Library guide to connect to Indigenous feature films, documentaries, and more!

Many of the films offered are streaming media, and can be accessed with your C number and password. Some films are only available on DVD. Students can watch DVDs in the Lansdowne Library in rooms 141 (Huckleberry room) and 142 (Oregon Grape room), and in the Interurban Library in rooms 341, 342, 355, and 356. You can book study rooms on the Library website.

The Media Librarian, Pasty Scott, is working to replace DVD content with streaming media where possible. Instructors are encouraged to reach out to Patsy if they have requests for streaming titles.
