| Summary: | The indigenous cultures and communities of North America are studied in many academic disciplines, geography among them. The number of geographers who work in this area is small compared to the figures that emerge from such departments as anthropology, history, or literature, mainly because geography itself is a small discipline. A surprisingly wide range of topics, methods, epistemological stances, and regional emphases are represented in recent geographical literature nonetheless. Our purpose here is to summarize the published books and journal articles written about North American Indian and Inuit geographies during the past ten years, following a brief look at earlier work. We do so to raise awareness of this diverse and somewhat diffuse literature, and to make it more accessible to readers of this journal.
