Extractions: This is the Cherokee Flag that was used by the Native Indian Troops who were fighting for independence during the Civil War. Most history books have depicted the Civil War as being only about slavery. That is not exactly the truth. The Indian trrops from the lower plains and midwest joined Stand Watie to be armed by the Confederates in a fight for their independence. They were the last to surrender long after the war was over. The words "Cherokee Braves" is emblazoned in the white strip. The five red stars represent the five civilized tribes. This flag was carried by General Stand Waite. We will periodically be changing the opening picture with various items of Cherokee History. This Site Hosted By: Ableza , a Native American Arts and Film Institute THE PURPOSE of this page is to entice Native Indians and Volunteers from other cultures, into becoming involved in research and writing concerning matters of which are effecting the Native American Indian Nations, Tribes, and Bands. THE REASON is that each of our Native Indian Nations are constantly involved in some type of legal battle. Thus, we recognize that these days the battles are not fought in the fields, prairies, swamps, or forests. They are fought in the boardrooms and courtrooms. That means, there are not enough warriors to continue this effort. Far too-many of our people are and sitting around and waiting for others to pursue the fight for sovereignty. Where have all the warriors gone, what are you waiting for. Being a POWWOW only Indian, or standing around playing "Big Time Know It All Indian" is a privilidge that is being granted to you by others that are truly in the fight. If you can read and write, you can fight.

Extractions: The World Wide Web is a valuable tool for learning about Native American history and culture. However, it is important to realize that, unlike print reference resources, much of the information on the Internet has not been verified for accuracy or research value. Before beginning research for American Indian resources on the Internet, you may want to read "Techniques for Evaluating American Indian Web Sites" , written by a librarian at the University of Arizona. The following links are to pages outside of the DC Public Library system (unless otherwise noted) that have been selected as good "starting points" for conducting Internet research about the past and present experience of Native Americans, whether you are a student or a casual reader. While these pages have valuable and interesting information, remember that they do not replace the library as a source for research materials. Also be aware that while many of these pages are routinely updated, some of the sites linked from these resources may be "dead links," or pages that are out-of-date.
