Random resources and stuff:
I've been listening to The Angry Indian podcast (Freedman Cherokee), Radyo Intelligent Aboriginal. Sharpen your critical thinking and question what you've heard.
*Strong Language Warning* Sample here:
An online guide to Amazon Indians.
"Amazon-Indians.org is a resource for photos and videos of native indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest. It is an educational resource and an introduction to the cultures of Amazon native tribes from the South American Amazon River Basin. In addition, this website is a resource for information and geographic maps of the native indigenous tribes of the Amazon Rainforest."
Wintercounts. An online Smithsonian exhibit.
"Winter counts are histories or calendars in which events are recorded by pictures, with one picture for each year.
The Lakota call them waniyetu wowapi. Waniyetu is the word for year, which is measured from first snowfall to first snowfall. It is often translated as "a winter." Wowapi means anything that is marked on a flat surface and can be read or counted, such as a book, a letter, or a drawing."

Participation opportunity for Native graduates:
My name is Andrea Laverdure. I am a graduate student in the Human Development and Education, Counseling Program at North Dakota State University, and enrolled in the Turtle Mountain Chippewa tribe, Belcourt, North Dakota. I am conducting a research project exploring a Native perspective on what characteristics make up a successful Native post-secondary student. Results of this study will help us learn more about the characteristics of successful Native students.
I will be conducting the survey via the Group Decision Center at NDSU. An email contact with and introductory letter and a subsequent email message with directions to the web link will be sent to each participant. The survey should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Once the online survey is completed summary results will be reported to me without identifying information. Participant identity will not be revealed in the survey results.
I am requesting assistance in locating college seniors or college graduates that have finished their programs since 1999-2000. I would appreciate if you could refer me to potential participants or request that you provide me with phone numbers or email addresses so I may contact them.
If you have any questions about this project, please call me at 701-364-3946 (home) or 701-550-0102 (cell) or 701-239-8050 (office), my email is andrealaverdure@msn.com. You may also call my adviser, Dr. Robert Nielsen at 701-231-7676 or email Dr. Nielsen at robert.nielsen@ndsu.nodak.edu.
Please feel free to forward this request to other who maybe able to help locate potential study participants.
