There are many wonderful sites to get information on Native American Tribes. I like this particular one because it gives you a chart of the food, customs, art, etc. of the various tribes. http://www.mce.k12tn.net/Indians/navigation/native_american_chart.htm
ReplyDelete"American Indians Contributions to the World" is available on Reference at Main, PCR, West, UPK and SOM. I like this particular book because it has the inventions and innovations indexed by subject and separately by tribe. It gives more and expanded information than just using the Native American Encyclopedias availabe at most libraries on Reference.
ReplyDeleteAmerica the Beautiful would be a good database to use.
ReplyDeleteTo find info on Native American Tribes visit Genealogy, Special Collections, Main Library 4th flr:
