Other Web Sites

You can also use a search engine to find sites that have Native American stories and information about Native American culture and history. Try combining “Native American” with “history” or “myths.” Remember that some sites are better sources of information than others. Those maintained by educational institutions (.edu), government agencies (.gov), or nonprofit organizations (.org) are generally more reputable than commercial sites (.com).
