About Tiller Research...
Tiller Research was founded in 1980 by Dr. Veronica Tiller and is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The original focus of the organization was to provide thoroughly researched and detailed information about modern-day Native American issues to laymen as well as professionals.
As widely diverse as the 562 tribes are, there are still many fundamental issues that are similar for all tribes across the country. The basic information formed the foundation of what was to become the Tiller's Guide to Indian Country. After the considerable effort of organizing, documenting, and personally interviewing hundreds of tribal employees, personnel, and members across the United States, Tiller's Guide was published in 1996 by BowArrow Publishing. BowArrow Publishing was founded in 1995 and is the publishing arm of Tiller Research.
Upon publication, there was immediate acceptance of the Guide throughout academic and government agency circles as an authoritative resource of information about modern-day Native American tribes. This recognition continues with the release of the updated and expanded 2006 edition and includes significant endorsements from the library community and private enterprise.
