Cheyenne Indian Art and Native American Art Reviewed by Lesley P. and Tadgh P.
We like this page because there are pictures of a lot of different types of Native Art. If you click on one of the pictures, it tells you more about it. The art is really neat because it is made of natural materials.

Eagle Wing Reviewed by Tadgh P. and Lesley P.
This site tells you all about how the Cheyenne tribe lived. There is a lot of information on the main page. At the bottom of the page there are links to more information on the Northern Cheyenne, recommendations on good motion pictures about the Cheyenne, and the best Cheyenne books. This site is very helpful to kids studying the Cheyenne.

South Dakota: A Guide to the Great Sioux Nation Reviewed by Brendan R.
I think this site has very good pictures and has many links to Sioux information. My favorite link is on powwows. It has pictures, information, and a schedule of powwows. It also includes landmarks and legends, art, artifacts and points of interest. I highly recommend this site if you're interest in the Sioux.

National Museum of the American Indian Reviewed by Jesse M-N.
This site contains a huge amount of information. I couldn't even get through the Resource Center because it is so filled with information. The Resource Center includes information on the Native peoples of the Western Hemisphere, and the exhibitions, programs, and collections of the National Museum of the American Indian. Other major areas on this page are: School Programs, Film and Video, Internship Programs, Expressive Culture and Talking Circle. In addition to all this, there links to other Native American sites and the Smithsonian's other Web pages.

The Nez Perce/ Nee-me-poo Homepage Reviewed by Kether S-G.
This page has a bunch of cool stuff about the Nez Perce. There is information on transportation, food, descriptions of the early Nez Perce, legends and landmarks, and links to other great Native American sites. This site really helped me in my research. It is very easy to use. Each link loads quickly. I think this is an excellent site because it had a lot of interesting facts that I couldn't find anywhere else.
