Hi,

A few words about the term Native American Indian.

If you google Native Americans, you come up with the following: “a member of any of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.” The same with the term American Indian.

The operative word is “indigenous”. Also, many members will identify themselves as the name of their specific Tribe or Nation (e.g., Cherokee, Mohawk, Navajo etc.) rather than say “I’m American Indian.” We are all Americans.

In creating this site as an ongoing resource there was a need for a term that identified all indigenous peoples. The term Native American Indians works in this instance. Also,this is an ongoing process so Tribes will be added on a continuing basis.

Thanks for the feedback and ideas (especially the maps) and I hope some of you find the material useful.

This is a work in progress :-)

Hi,

Other than maps (someone already suggested this) What additions would you add? Cawbv

Hi,

Maps are a great idea! I'll think about it. Thanks

Hi, Unfortunately no I have not been able to contact Native colleges directly. It is a big job that I might have help with in the future. Thanks for your question.

Thank you!

The information for each tribe was obtained from various sources including the Tribal websites, Wikipedia, and other educational sites involved in Native Indian information. We have condensed the material from all of these sources to make it easier for you to read or complete research. For Teachers, there are links to complete Lesson Plans with Answer Keys for many of the Tribes. or complete research. For Teachers, there are links to complete Lesson Plans with Answer Keys for many of the Tribes. For those who are just interested in learning about Native culture, history, and traditions Tribalpedia is very informative. In either case, we hope that you enjoy the site.

Hi I’ll contact you.

I’m an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher with experience in the classroom. I developed this website to deal with the problem that many teachers find it difficult to regularly provide material for ESL students. Since one of the main goals is to have ESL learners become proficient in English as quickly as possible, ESL-Voices provides free weekly lesson  plans with answer keys for teachers. The lesson plans are based on current articles from a variety of major newspapers and magazines. I am also hoping to attract guest teachers in the future. I’m looking for any and all feedback. In particular, does the organization of the posts content about news stories, together with lesson plans, work? Thanks in advance.
