Three Decades Since Prejudices and Antipathies: A Study of Changes in the Library of Congress Subject Headings by Steven A. Knowlton
LCSH should be first source for subject and genre headings and if terms are offensive, outdated, inaccurate, or not specific enough other existing thesauri should be used. Homosaurus and African Studies Thesarus (need to triple check that you cannot facet) are not faceted, so are limited in their use for descriptive cataloging and should generally be seen as supplementary to LCSH when faceted headings are needed/desired. The use of locally created subject headings is NOT recommended.

Alternative vocabularies and thesauri
(LTS has updated HOLLIS to display (also indexed and faceted) subject headings from African Studies Thesaurus, Homosaurus, and First Nations House of Learning: .)
...
Since the LC term available is currently Slaves, it is preferable to use the African Studies term of enslaved people. The thesaurus also has the term enslaved peoplewomen, while LC's term is Women slaves.
...
Homosaurus terms are NOT faceted, so you are only able to assign general headings using it. Because of this it is best to use this vocabulary as a supplement to the LCSH since it is more robust and faceted when you are looking for more complex structured headings with $$v $$x and $$y fields. In addition to terms related to gender and sexual orientation, the thesaurus has many terms related to sex and sexuality that are not represented in LCSH and are very useful for describing our more recent sex positive collections and materials. For example, there is no term in LC for Tantric sex, but there is one in the Homosaurus.
To use this vocabulary in either the 650 subject or 655 genre fields use a second indicator of 7 and add a subfield 2 with the source code homoit after the term

From their website: "X̱wi7x̱wa Library uses First Nations House of Learning (FNHL) subject headings developed at UBC in an effort to better reflect Indigenous Peoples’ self-identities, modes of understanding, and traditional knowledge. The FNHL controlled vocabulary is currently in development. FNHL subject headings follow a standard order of [topic]-[subtopic]-[place]-[chronology]."
This appears to not actually be available for use beyond UBC Xwi7xwa library currently. Will reach out to LTS to see if this inclusion in Alma is really for OCLC master records with these headings and not for us to use them currentlyYou may see these headings on bibs in Connexion, but for now won't be able to add them to records yourself. See https://www.researchgate.net/publication/277022370_Indigenization_of_Knowledge_Organization_at_the_Xwi7xwa_Library for more details on the vocab. It is faceted)
