Gary Trujillo maintains this site, which is full of Native American resources, archives, and mailing lists. When I was doing research for my paper on Native American Religious Freedom in Prison, Gary published my request for Indian prisoner contacts on his NATIVE-L mailing list. I received a phenomenal response from native and non-native people all over the world. Gary is very particular about what goes out over the NATIVE-L mailing list, which is nice - keeps my e-mail in-box from getting too full. Thanks for all of your help, Gary. Take a vacation, my friend!!

Jordan Dill has created an amazing site here. Easily navigable and fast loading (even with my slow 14.4 modem!!). Jordan was the first person to get my paper, Traveling the Spiritual Path: The Struggle for Native American Religious Freedom in Prison online. He did such a great job, too. That was back when I knew nothing about web design and HTML. After checking out Jordan's site, I decided that I just had to learn how to create and publish internet pages. See what you inspired, Jordan!! If you want to see how Jordan laid out my paper at his site, go here. One last note about Jordan - every time I needed to e-mail him, I received a response within a day or two. I've never seen anything like it - especially considering how busy he must be. That kind of attention is very much appreciated.

This wonderful place represents the work of many people. Peter d'Errico, one of those people, is an attorney who teaches Indian law and works in Massachusetts. He is also the attorney for Chris "Black Crow" Bousquet and Randall "Shield Wolf" Trapp - two native prisoners incarcerated in Massachusetts, struggling against the prison system for the right to engage in native spiritual practices. Peter was extremely helpful when I was researching my paper on Native American Religious Freedom in Prison. He hooked me up with both Black Crow and Shield Wolf. This site has a million different things to look at. A definite "must see."

Professor Bob Clinton teaches Indian Law at the University of Iowa College of Law. I met Professor Clinton when I attended the American Indian Law Center's Pre-Law Summer Institute in Albuquerque during the summer of 1994. He taught our Indian Law class - the first exposure I ever had to Indian Law issues. He is one of the most amazing and intelligent men I have ever met. He is the co-author of one of the leading casebooks on Indian Law: American Indian Law: Cases and Materials, 3d Ed. (1991). This is the book I chose for our Group Study in Indian Law at the University of Maine School of Law. ( See my homepage for more details about the group study course). If you are interested in purchasing the book or the 1996 Supplement, both are available through the NAPI Bookstore.

Rick Kerchee Powelson has one of the best Indian sites I've seen so far. His sense of humor just can't be beat. I like Rick's pages because he tells it like it is - dispelling certain misconceptions about Indian people. This whole new-age and wanabi thing has gotten so out of control, that it's very refreshing to see a "real" Indian talking like a normal human being. Thanks for the link, Rick -- from one "bad Indian" to another!!

Here's a site that every person interested in Indian issues needs to visit on a regular basis. First Michael Two Horses created the site. Then Ishgooda took over maintaining the site (I was having trouble keeping up with you guys even then!!). Now Mike Two Horses is back, policing the net, calling attention to those sites where people or organizations are holding themselves out to be Indian. The Wanabi sites listed are ones considered to be most dangerous to the Indian people - persons claiming improper heritage, persons calling themselves "Chief" something-or-other, or groups asking for donations for so called Indian "non-profit" activities. UPDATE 9/15/97: The Wanabi Tribal Home Page has died a very quiet death, I am sorry to say. The above link will take you to Mike's new homepage.

Alex is one of my favorite pen-pals. He's a Native inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). This site is maintained by a Dutch man, so please excuse the spelling errors. Alex is articulate and funny, and he's fighting like hell for Native American rights in TDCJ. His address is listed at this site, so if you'd like to write to him, I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Just dont send anything except letters and newsworthy materials, because the prison will reject it. I found out the hard way (how do stamps qualify as "contraband" anyway???). You can also see a related article on 'Wannabe' prisoners at TDCJ. Does this crap ever end??

Mitch is web page designer from Michigan. He created my school's Native American Law Students Association (NALSA) homepage. Mitch has given me so much html help over the past few months, I owe him big time. He has an impressive portfolio of web page creations - some he designed alone and others he collaborated with Ishgooda's Drawn and Quoted Native American Graphics. Mitch is also a web site reviewer at Sitegrade. That looked like so much fun, that I recently joined as a reviewer myself. Sorry I'm such a copycat, Mitch. Keep smiling, buddy!! The world is your "lobster"!!

Gary Night Owl puts out this weekly online newsletter. You can either read it here or sign up to receive it by e-mail. If there's one place in this whole internet world to find out what's currently affecting Indian people or Indian country, this is the place to go. Gary's wife, Janet, helped me in creating my Native American Penpal page. Please honor both of them by visiting their site.

This is another huge site of Native American internet resources, run on a volunteer basis by Karen Strom. Karen also maintains A Line in the Sand and a Native American Storytellers site. For anyone out there doing research on Native American issues, these sites alone can provide a wealth of information. Karen recently let me know that help from the community is needed in updating the Guide to Native American Studies Programs in the U.S. and Canada. If you know of a NA studies program out there which is not listed in the Guide, please fill out the online survey form to have the program added to the list.

Phil Konstantin is a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and a California Highway Patrol Officer (yikes!!). Just kidding Phil! Phil's site is a great way to keep up on Indian history lessons. Check out Phil's other homepage while you're at it.

A starting point for information on First Nations Peoples, native art, native life and culture. The Village is a First Nations Directory, Art Gallery, Virtual Store, Discussion Forum and Information Centre developed by FNAI.

"Celebrating the beauty and strength of Native American cultures & histories." Patty has indeed created a beautiful and strong site here. As she herself explains, "The Warm Springs portion of this homesite's name is named in honor of Victorio, famed Apache Chief, and his sister, the warrior woman Lozen. Victorio, selected by Mangas Coloradas to take over the leadership of the great leader's people, was originally chief of a band variously referred to as the Warm Springs Apaches, Mimbres, Mimbrenos, or Chihennes band. Regardless of the various name used by outsiders, the fact remains that Victorio and his people loved their Warm Springs homelands in SW New Mexico. As a Delaware/Apache, Welsh/English Indian woman, I felt that naming this site for Victorio and his people was a way of honoring the courage and honor of all Indian tribes across this continent."

These are Indian web sites that I've exchanged links with. I am proud to be linked on their pages and to link them here. In my opinion (which is always correct ... in my opinion, that is) These sites are definitely worth checking out.

Bishop Paiute Tribal Council Home Page
Tribal Council and Palace Casino of the Paiute Tribe in the Eastern Sierra in Bishop, California.

The People's Paths Homepage
As Nancy Thomas (keeper of the People's Paths Homepage) explained to me, "the People's Paths Homepage is not just a compilation of URL's but the People's Paths contains much 'on site' information that comes from many great folks who simply want to share and are concerned about Indian People and the preservation of Indian Culture! All who contribute, including those who utilize the site, are the true owners! The work is a labor of love to this Cherokee!"

Native American Support Group of New York City
"Native American People without sovereignty rights, federal recognition or a land base is like the average American family without a home, without an opportunity to educate their children, without a economic base to better their families for the 21st century." The "Native American Support Group" of New York City was founded in 1988 to present current American Indian issues from the United States, Alaska and Hawaii. These issues are Big Mountain, Alaska Landless Tlingits, Hawai'i Independent and Sovereign Nation, Sandy Lake Band of Ojibwe to Apache Survival Coalition. The "Native American Support Group " of NYC has added International Indigenous Issues in Oct 1997. International Indigenous issues are Accisn Zapatista, Peace for Northern Ireland to Amanaka's Amazon Network.

"Tlingit National Anthem" Alaska Natives Online
Tlingit culture and history, current issues, Alaska Natives Online and more Native American resources."Our story takes place during the last great ice age in North America over 60,000 years ago. Four Tlingit women swam under a Dangerous Glacier Ice Cavern for their people and helped found Southeast Alaska's Tlingit Nation. Our home since the beginning of human history and time has always been North America."
