The library realizes that some of the subject headings from the Library of Congress Classification system, used to find materials in our catalogue, are problematic, outdated, and inappropriate terminology to refer to Indigenous peoples and topics. Please note that work is underway in libraries across Canada to change and update this terminology. This process is expected to take some time due to the millions of records impacted by this change. For more details about this issue, please see the Library and Archives Canada page on Canadian Subject Headings for Indigenous Peoples, and the SFU Indigenous Terminology Guide.
**UPDATE as of September 2023**
Progress has been made in terms of the Riel Rebellion subject heading. Library of Congress has changed Riel Rebellion to Northwest Resistance, Canada, 1885! Our library will be working on changing to the new subject heading.
