Art, Culture & Education

http://www.native-languages.org/kids.htm

This website contains information and links about dozens of American Indian tribes and their native languages, including vocabulary sets and sound files. Although these pages are rich in information, they are also long and complicated, and it can be hard for non-native children to gather facts from them. It also includes a "Facts For Kids" project to provide online information about American Indians in an easy-to-read question and answer format, with links we feel are especially accessible to all ages. Students are encouraged to look through the rest of our pages to get the best feel for the American Indian cultures they are studying.
