[DCRM-L] Help with problem subject heading

[Jane Wickenden]

Hi Bob and Nina,

I wonder if, in order to make the term more universal (especially given
that the concept seems to have originated in Europe - although Rousseau
never used the phrase, not even in French), "Indigenous peoples -
Stereotypes (Social psychology)" would be better?

Geographical and / or historical sub-fields could be added as wished.

Best wishes,

Jane
