The //**Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes**// can be an excellent resourse if you need access to information on a specific tribe. It lists over 200 tribes and includes the following topics for each listing; name pronunciation and meaning, social structure, religion, life ways, history, contacts with non-indians, comtemporary information.

The site, //**[|Native Languages of the Americas: List of Native American Indian Tribes and Languages]**// is similar to the //Encyclopedia of Native American Tribes// and provides a overview of the language, people and history for each tribe listed. It is also an excellent resource for use in the classroom as it provides a kid's section on each tribe as well as vocabulary learning worksheets (with pictures). [] In addition many Native American Nations have individual websites and the previously mentioned site has links to many of the offical Native American Nation web pages.
