Native American Indians

Maybe it sounds very strange, but I'm really interested in all that indian stuff..And maybe someone knows links where I can learn more about native american indians - their nations, language, especially names and all other stuff.. I'll be really glad if you could help me! thanx...;)

How weird,
I watched "Dances with Wolves" AGAIN over the weekend, and went searching for information on the Sioux tribe

And some info on language

Language

Well, I don't have much information. My grandfather was Cherokee. My mom grew up on a Navajo reservation, which according to her wasn't a good thing. My grandfather is now deceased. I wish that I could remember his stories more. My grandmother is a hag, so I won't get any good stories out of her. Anyways, here are a few family pics...

An aunt (I believe great great Aunt to me...)

Captain, thanx for the links, especially that language one...;)
Tonya, wow, I didn't know you have cherokee bloods..that's cool.. and those photos are very great too! Thanx for sharing with me Tonya&Captain!!;)

I have Choctaw in me from my mother's side.

All I know is that one of my Great Great *not sure how many total* Grandfather came over from Ireland and married a Choctaw. :)

I wish I knew how they met and more about them.

Here is a link to a First Nations page. Has lots of information
on history of different tribes,customs,history and language.

You all are welcome.:) It's a site that's written & maintained
by a Native American. It gives the real history that was never
covered in our ( USA) history books.

I enjoy the language instruction & philosophy of the Native
people.:)

Thanx for links, Richard!;)
