American
Indians and the Natural World
Through exploration of four different visions
of living in and with the natural world—those of the Tlingit of the
Northwest Coast, the Hopi of the Southwest, the Iroquois of the Northeast,
and the Lakota of the Plains—North, South, East, West: American Indians
and the Natural World examines the belief systems, philosophies, and
practical knowledge that guide Indian peoples' interactions with the
natural world. Though all of these peoples have chosen different pathways
and strategies for making a life in their various environments, one
similar concept is voiced by all—that a reciprocal connection exists
between people and the world.

American
Indian Studies Research Institute
In 1985 the American Indian Studies Research
Institute (AISRI) was founded at Indiana University to serve as an interdisciplinary
research center for projects focusing on the native peoples of the Americas.
AISRI was founded in part on the premise that language, culture, and
history are inextricably interrelated, and that to fully understand
and describe the language, culture, or history of a people, a study
of one of these topics must be informed by work in the others.

Indian Source
The Americanindiansource.com site seeks to
promote the sharing of the past, present and future tribal life. Our
goals are to increase the awareness and perceptions of the total community
to the evolving tribal environment. The primary guiding goal before
us is RESPECT. Also these presentations seek to appreciate what have
are our traditions, lifestyles, songs, stories and works of art. This
respect encompasses the traditions of yesterday, the reality of modern
tribal life and the promise of Native American tomorrow.

Bibliography
of North American Indians
Do you remember reading or hearing
phrases such as: "Sit cross-legged like Indians," "single
file, Indian style," "playing cowboys and Indians," "like
a bunch of wild Indians," and "don't be an Indian giver"
when you were a child? How about learning to count by enumerating "Ten
Little Indians" and learning to read by reciting "I is for
Indian" or "E is for Eskimo?" These examples, personally
observed by this Choctaw mother, teacher, and student, as well as by
most of America's schoolchildren, are still used in schools today. They
set the stage for a lifetime of misinformation and cultural bias about
American Indians, objectifying them in a way that undoubtedly would
not be tolerated or accepted by any other ethnic group.

Information Pages
Canada and the United States have many major geographic

four of the Great Lakes, the Appalachian Highlands, and many rivers.
It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the stories of the exploration
and settlement of both of these nations are closely interwoven.

Indian
Affairs: Laws and Treaties
Indian
Affairs: Laws and Treaties, compiled and edited by Charles J. Kappler,
is an historically significant, seven volume compilation of U.S. treaties,
laws and executive orders pertaining to Native American Indian tribes.
The volumes cover U.S. Government treaties with Native Americans from
1778-1883 (Volume II) and U.S. laws and executive orders concerning
Native Americans from 1871-1970 (Volumes I, III-VII). The work was first
published in 1903-04 by the U.S. Government Printing Office. Enhanced
by the editors' use of margin notations and a comprehensive index, the
information contained in Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties is in high
demand by Native peoples, researchers, journalists, attorneys, legislators,
teachers and others of both Native and non-Native origins.

Native
Stories, Our Stories: Tribes aim to define themselves for history
project
These
tribes made history by gathering history. In collecting their stories
and archives and interviews, the tribal historians changed the way
their communities viewed themselves. They've also opened a window
for the rest of Montana to confront its own legacy of white-Indian
relations. For seven days beginning Sunday, the Missoulian will investigate
how these tribal histories came to be and how they'll affect everyone
in Montana.

Techniques
for Evaluating American Indian Web Sites
American Indian peoples live in the real world, and Web sites by and
about Indian peoples live on the Web. Just as Indians are sometimes
treated fairly in the real world, the Web contains sites that show Indians
in respectful ways with accurate information, quality products to sell,
and as whole human beings with real lives. Just as Indian peoples are
sometimes treated wrongly in the real world, the Web also contains sites
that use inaccurate and damaging "information", and portray
Native peoples as either less or more than human, or as products to
be exploited and sold in some fashion (especially Native spirituality).
