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.

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.
