Resources

This section is a celebration of Native joy, creativity, history, and wisdom expressed on media. All the authors, directors, poets, artists and musicians are Native except for a few non-Natives who are included for their understanding and support of the Native world view. Angie Debo, Ron Parks, Howard Zinn, Keith Basso, and Jerry Mander always represent Native people as fully realized equals. Enjoy these amazing achievements of artistry, insight, and wit.
 
Walking the Lakota Red Road, following the Dine’ Beauty Way, the Haudenosaunee Longhouse Tradition, or any Native Tradition brings a person into relationship with all the elements in this Divine and Harmonious Universe. The links below connect you with people and organizations working for the good of all of us. In their way each promotes beauty and justice in a world where we are all responsible to ourselves and others.
