Aboriginal Studies  

The call number range E 50 - E 175 (books, reference and journals) applies to the Aboriginal Peoples of North America. Since the "E" section is mainly for History, you'll see that books will show up in other areas as well, such as Sociology, Education, etc.

The GN 380 call number area (part of the social and cultural anthropology area) contains texts about indigenous peoples.
