There are many excellent Native American web pages that do not
explicitly focus on the issue of religion or spirituality but are, nonetheless,
informative to those who wish to grasp the broader context of Native American
spirituality. We identify and provide links to a number of these here:
Native American Sites
This simply designed page, created and maintained by Lisa Mitten, social science and
linguistic librarian at the University of Pittsburg, is simply one of the finest
gateways to Native America resources on the Internet. You'll find links to individual
nations, language information, educational institutions, indigenous publications and
media resources, arts, businesses, and a list of powwows across North America.

GenWeb Archives Washington Indian Treaties
"The US GenWeb Archives were established to provide a permanent, centralized
repository for all genealogical and historical data collected by the US GenWeb Project."
When the site was last visited, we found the full text of thirteen treaties dating from
1854 to 1883.

This is the official home page of The American Indian Heritage Foundation, a division of the
National Heritage Foundation. Established in 1982, the AIHF seeks "to provide relief
services to Indian people nationwide and to build bridges of understanding and
friendship between Indian and non-Indian people." A well designed page with access to
many resources.
