The nature of the Librarv's broad subject divisions, variety of formats, and methods of acquisition have dispersed relevant material among a number of divisions. This guide aims to help the researcher to encounter Indian people through the Library's collections and to enhance the Library staff's own ability to assist with that encounter. The guide is arranged by collections or divisions within the Library and focuses on American Indian and Alaska Native peoples within the United States. Each section includes an introductory description, information on using the collections and their reading room, and descriptions or annotations for selected books and (1) general collections (main reading room, collections. Sections include': catalogs and Internet access, children's literature center, local history and genealogy reading room, periodicals, microform reading room, multimedia (3) manuscript (2) rare book and special collections division; formats); division (master record of manuscript collections, register, National Union (4) the Law Library of Congress; Catalog of Manuscript Collections); (5) (7) Motion (6) Geography and Maps Division; Prints and Photographs Division; (8) Music Division and Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division; Recorded Sound Reference Center; and (9) American Folklife Center. In addition, the guide contains "gateways," thematic summaries of major Indian subject areas in the collections. Includes an index and many photographs and illustrations.

General Collections. In Pueblo sacred rites, kachinas (or sacred personages) are represented by masked men. Pueblo children are instructed in the tribal religion through kachina effigies, or dolls, made by the men in the kivas, or ceremonial chambers, during breaks be- tween ceremonies. This kachina represents the Zuni Sun Priest. The illustrations for this book of Pueblo mythology were based on the kachina dolls in the collections of the Southwest Museum of Los Angeles CONTENTS Foreword by James H.
