Online Resources M2
There are many online sites that I have found very helpful.
Many were stepping-stones to the more detailed information that I was looking
for. The first website I have found to be extremely useful is
hanksvill.org/NAresources . There are links to Tribe and Nation sites that were
extremely valuable my research for understanding “my voice”. While learning
more about the culture and history of the Pueblo, I was able to go to the
individual tribe sites. The perspective of the tribal sites is true to the
culture of the Southwest Indians.
The website for the National Museum of the American Indian
for students and educators provided many pieces of useful information for
general Native American Culture. The best part of this site was the Index of
Resources that separated the Nations and regions for further investigation. The
origin of this resource is the Smithsonian National Museum of the American
Indian and is updated in 2016 (Educational Resources, 2016). The downloadable
PDF of Native People of the Land: The Zuni People a study in Environment,
Adaptation, and Agricultural Practices was extremely easy to understand as well
as easy to read. This resource was created for the educator of grade levels
6-8.
While looking for more information about the Southwest
Indian Nations, Many reputable sites included those from the University of
Arizona and the University of Nebraska.
The ability to research specific tribes and nations on
websites that were created by the peoples of the region I am exploring is
essential. The ability to hear and read the history of the Southwest from other
Nations continues to give me a better perspective of Native American history
and cultures.

Thank you SO MUCH for bringing this resource to my attention! My voice, the Hopi had only a small specific paragraph on them in the Atlas of Indian Nations by Anton Treuer. The website you referenced, http://www.hanksville.org/NAresources, is extremely helpful in providing not only information about various tribes, but also identifies additional weblinks under each subgroup to other informational pages. For example, in my case, the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office Official site, the Hopi Foundation, the Hopi Information Network/Hopiland website that provided messages from elders, prophecies, maps, archives, relationships between this tribe and the Pueblo and Navajo, link to the University of Nebraska - Lincoln Digital Library including an excellent resource Hopi Nation: Essays on Indigenous Art, Culture, History, and Law and the Official Hopi Website. I am SO pleased I read this blog prior to completing step two of our M2 Reflexive Scholarly Project in which we have to prepare a description of how our selected speaker's voice and the issue s/he addresses relates to her/his specific land, history, and culture. I can clearly use a multitude of information gleaned from these sites. Again, THANK YOU!
