But for any educator, you might take a look at the National Museum of the American Indian Guidelines to Erasing Native American Stereotypes ( http://www.nmnh.si.edu/anthro/outreach/sterotyp.html ) which has some good tips on avoiding both old myths and new ones. A quirky but valuable site is BIG BADDIE$ (NatAm Brand) FOR KIDS ( http://www.kstrom.net/isk/books/baddies/badmenu.html ) which points out what is wrong with some favorite children's books about Indians, especially Susan Jeffers execrable and dishonest _Brother Eagle, Sister Sky_. Cordially, Larry Cebula Associate Professor of History Missouri Southern State University ----- From: Judith Decker <jdecker4art@xxxxxxxxx> Greetings Kathy and all, I have many Native American Web Sites on my site: http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/diversit.htm Once you narrow it down to which cultural groups you want to study, I can direct you to some specific sites. I have researched many cultures and do not have those online - as well as many additional art sites. You might want to start with the cultural groups from your area of the country first. While some have similar customs and beliefs - there area many distinctly different customs.
