500 Indigenous Groups Hold UN Conference in New York


Bringing together more than 1,500 people from some 500 indigenous groups worldwide, the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues is coming together these days in New York, focusing on the theme "indigenous children and youth". The website of website of the UN forum is holding a lot of information, documents and news releases about that.

The server meets the requirements of the Open Archives Initiative Protocol (OAI), which means that the metadata of every publication is available. Furthermore a full-text search is possible.

Online News Source about American Indians


Indian Country Today is a news site focussing on american indians.

Encyclopedia of North American Indians


I just found an Encyclopedia of North American Indians with approximately 400 entries, mainly tribes, but also single persons and keywords. The short entries are mostly written by scholars and include a short bibliography.

The publisher Houghton Mifflin hosts also "Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia", but this would be only of slight interest, maybe for people researching the american colonialization history.
