Subdividing

Exercise 12

What headings would you assign to works on the following topics?

a. Hunting methods used by Aboriginal peoples: Aboriginal peoples - Hunting
Scope Note
Use for works on the methods and equipment used for hunting by Aboriginal peoples during the pre-contact period of Aboriginal history and those methods and equipment that continue to be used in some areas of Australia.

b. Educating Aboriginal children: Aboriginal peoples - Education; Children, Aboriginal

c. Aboriginal place names: Aboriginal peoples - Place names (I searched for 'place names', it said USE Names, geographical, this suggested the above as a narrower term (NT) - exactly describing what I was looking for.)

Note that not all headings relating to Aboriginal peoples are in this form, e.g. ‘Aboriginal peoples - Art’ is a non-allowed term, the heading being ‘Art, Aboriginal’.
