    To mark Indigenous History Month, we are shining a spotlight on our Indigenous Healing Collection situated on the main floor of the Geoffrey + Robyn Sperber Health Sciences Library. This collection encompasses works about the peoples of the land now known as Canada, as well as those from regions where Indigenous cultures were overshadowed by processes like colonization. There is more information about the scope and focus of the Indigenous Healing Collection in this Library News article.   

    We continue to add to this collection and today we are looking at a small selection of titles added in the past year.

    For more information about the Sperber Health Sciences Library,  please do not hesitate to ask us.
