Websites with Native American Cases

There are not many sources of Native American cases and they are often difficult to locate, because most keywords are organized by disciplinary topics and they do not usually include keywords such as "American Indian" or "Native American." The following sources do include a small number of Native cases. As you evaluate these cases, be sure to look at whether the case truly presents a Native point of view and whether the case is up-to-date and accurate.

There are many research cases that take the form of final reports on model Native American programs to funding agencies. These are not typically open-ended teaching cases but they could be converted into good teaching cases.
