Re: HIT: Native America websites

[Nancy Voltmer <voltmer@NETINS.NET>]

   Thank you for posting the websites.  I wanted to add
something I learned about several years ago.  When
evaluating Native American websites there are extra
considerations to ensure that the information is
authentic.  I read an article, but the name/date escape
me.  It suggested looking for:
     - Are artifacts being sold?  Native Americans won't
be selling arrowheads, etc.
     - Is the author a Native American? Are they married
to one?  This will be especially important to be certain
they know what they are talking about.

   There were other considerations, but I cannot remember
them.
Nancy
