REVIEW:
This site is a gem for anyone interested in Native American History. It is a simply designed two-tier site with a short description of 30 or so tribes, which in turn link to a very detailed and thorough essay on each.
It covers tribes from Abenaki to Winnebago, and everything in between. The information here could be used by history teachers looking to supplement lesson plans on Native Americans as well as cultural studies teachers covering the subject. Students researching for reports will also find this site
quite useful.
