The Four Winds Society: the Q'ero, last descendants of the Inka, believe it's the "time of the great gathering
of the Peoples of the Four Directions, bringing renewed order & harmony in the universe."

Indigenous Environmental Network: "alliance of grassroots indigenous peoples whose mission is to protect the
sacredness of Mother Earth from contamination & exploitation by strengthening, maintaining & respecting the traditional

especially History and Culture and Social Equity & Environmental Justice

Zuni Fetishes - a beautiful and informative site.

The Cherokee People - this a a beautiful and lovingly-made series of pages on the history and legends of the
Cherokees.

Voyage to Another Universe - this is a terrific resource; it's a detailed tour around the Four Corners area, and
     the author once worked at the Navajo Community College for two years. Much rich knowledge here, many dineh
     (Navajo) words explained, all the geology and dates of the landscapes, many illustrations and maps, including satellite
     images. It will take some time to get around it all, but it's well worth it.

have seen fit to ignore.

Dinetah's Home Page - probably the largest collection of stories from all the indigenous Nations on the Net.

Native Tech - a fine site "dedicated to disconnecting the term 'primitive' from perceptions of native
american technology and art." A substantial and growing resource.

A Line in the Sand - a native american perspective on issues of sovereignty, cultural property,
stereotypes, and law.

The People's Paths by N.L. Thomas - a comprehensive native people's resource, including news, live
chat, message center, living history, political & legal issues, pow-wow info. Of particular interest are the sections
contained on the Special Paths page, including Genealogy Information, Native People's Languages,
Paths to Indian Art and many more.

Nierica - The Sacred Doorway - drawn from 11 years with the Huichols of Mexico (new domain name).

For caucasians (and others) wishing to explore their roots:

Exploring Ancient World Cultures: Online course for teachers of ancient and medieval worlds of the Middle
East, Europe, India & China; the articles deal especially well with ethics and changing values of the eras/areas.
