Tips for Google Image Searches
Visit the web page the image is posted on to learn more about it.
Open up the preview image.  
Look for large, clear images with no watermarks. 
On the web page, look for captions that tell more about the photo, such as what is happening, where and when it's happening, and photo credits.  
Cite the image as an "image (born digital)" in NoodleTools or NoodleTools Express, or by following the format below:  Contributor(s)Title of Photo/ImageDateName of Website
          PublisherDate of PublicationURL.
 
Note: Contributor means the photographer, illustrator, or other artist. 

If you are not required to cite images, you should at least record the URL of the page it's posted on so you can find it later if you need to.

1. When searching for Native American images on Google, many results will contain biased and stereotypical imagery.  
2. To find better images, think of keywords that will help you to find images that capture something specific about your topic.  For instance, you might search "Wampanoag" (tribe name) and "housing." 
3. If you find an image that seems promising,  open the link to the page the image is posted on.   Do the website, web page, and author seem reliable and trustworthy?  Do the authors provide captions and descriptions of the image?
