A table of contents organized by year, an index organized by tribe, and a keyword search engine are also included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=75410 This Website contains artwork, photographs,video and sound recordings which reflect the history and culture of Native Americans in North America as well as Indian people of Central America and Mexico. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=315312 This page is our collection of Native American folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed these stories tribe by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same legend are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to each other. As well as our collections of tribal legends and legend archives, we also have three pages of comparative legends, first for the stories of the Wabanaki tribes (including the Micmac, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, and Abenaki tribes,) second for the stories of the Iroquois tribes (including the Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga tribes,) and third for the stories of the Anishinabe tribes (including the Chippewa, Ottawa, Algonquin, and Potawatomi tribes.) Since this page features primarily the myths and legends of North American Indian tribes, we have also begun a separate collection of Central and South American Indian legends which may be interesting for purposes of comparison. Note that since many children use this site, we have tried to avoid linking to any legends or stories which deal explicitly with sex or contain bad language, including slur words for Native Americans. However, like the folklore of any culture -- including European fairy tales -- there is often violence and bad behavior in American Indian folklore, so please use discretion about sharing them with younger children. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=589561 We Shall Remain is a groundbreaking mini-series and provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. Five 90-minute documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of pivotal moments in U.S. history from the Native American perspective. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=568631 This site allows the public to access over 150,000 primary sources that were previously dispersed in separate archives in California.

The sources are divided by section of the country: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and West. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=551305 ״Through a unique blend of imagery and sound, this website captures the complex oral traditions of Native American communities in the American Southwest. Songs are sung and stories told within the landscapes which inspired them. The tapes explore a world in which words and place possess symbolic and time-honored significance. Native oral tradition generates a history separate and distinct from the written history of the West.״ http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=345772 These resources are contemporary teaching case studies related to Native Americans and their lived issues.
