Hi Everyone -

I just wanted to send an e-mail to invite you and your staffs to the
Department of the Interior Library on Thursday, October 25th from 2:00 to
3:00 pm for a free training session entitled "Introduction to ProQuest's
Indian Claims Insight Database," part of our series of free training
sessions at the DOI Library.

ProQuest’s Indian Claims Insight is a one-of-a-kind research tool that
provides researchers with the opportunity to understand and analyze Native
American migration and resettlement throughout United States history. It
also addresses US government Indian removal policies and subsequent actions
to address Native American claims. Content includes decisions, transcripts,
docket books, journals of the Indian Claims Commission, and related
statutes and congressional publications. Researchers can also trace the
journeys of Indians as they were pushed from their ancestral lands and
forced to relocate, as well as the tribes' determination to gain standing
in court to seek redress for inequities in the treaty process. This
training session, taught via webinar by a ProQuest trainer, will cover the
content in the database, review searching and document types and will also
provide attendees with links to additional support materials.

All that are interested are invited.  Please note that the DOI Library is
located in Room 1151 of the Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior
Building, just off the C Street entrance lobby. The Stewart Lee Udall
Department of the Interior Building is located at 1849 C Street, NW in
Washington, DC.  Space for the program in the Library is limited so please
