The Council of Energy Resource Tribes was founded by Indian Tribes out of necessity and out of a profound sense of collective self-confidence - the confidence that they could chart a new course of prudent development that would address Tribal priorities and values while contributing to a more secure energy future for all Americans.
We are proud to bring Native issues, peoples and culture to the Internet in a way that allows us to educate, understand and promote Native ways. Our Internet web site is a place where all Indigenous Peoples have a forum for their many voices. At First Northern Arts Interactive, we honor the voices of our First Nations peoples.
The Immigration and Refugee Services of America (IRSA)
is pleased to announce the launch of an important new
Web site. The
site will also benefit human rights organizations,
immigration and refugee policy analysts, educators,
social service providers, journalists, and Web
users seeking immigration- and refugee-related
information.
Native Nations in the U.S. and Canada are recognized (often only after considerable struggles and litigation) as indigenous nations with a measure of sovereignty. It is therefore necessary to distinguish between national websites prepared by or with acknowledgement of and responsibility to, these nations, and unofficial sites about history, culture or current events for a particular tribe. That distinction seems especially important on an educational "metasite" such as this one, whose users range from people totally naive about all of Native history to people deeply involved in actually making that history now.
Nativeart-world.com is dedicated to lovers of aboriginal, indigenous, traditional and native art worldwide, view history, products, gain inspiration for your art, business or education. We endeavour to provide informative information on native art.
