• Edward S. Curtis's The North American Indian: Photographic Images
  This American Memory, a Library of Congress project, includes pictures of The North American Indians.
• The Six Nations: Oldest Living Participatory Democracy on Earth
  Learn about the the people of the Six Nations, also known by the French term, Iroquois [1] Confederacy. Located in the northeastern region of North America, originally the Six Nations was five and included the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senecas. Their story, and governance truly based on the consent of the governed, contains a great deal of life-promoting intelligence for those of us not familiar with this area of American history. In our present day, we can benefit immensely, in our quest to establish anew a government truly dedicated to all life's liberty and happiness much as has been practiced by the Six Nations for over 800 hundred years.
