Because Yahoo!Internet Life used this page as a URL reference, you may have started here rather than at the Table of Contents or the index page . There are more than 60 pages on this site, so please take time to check out the Table of Contents. To make things easier, I've put links to all major Indian Territory sections at the bottom of this page. (p.s. when you do go off-site, please bookmark Indian Territory--and come back soon!)

This site honors the unique voices of the differing Indian peoples. There are about 500 U.S. continental tribes, bands, and rancherias (the latter primarily in California), each with its own language and culture. Despite what TV, movies, and some "experts" would have you believe, there is no one, single, definitive "Indian" or "Native American" belief system or culture. The distinctive voices of these peoples are too beautiful and of too much strength and value to merge into one large "melting pot" of indistinct pan-Indian Hollywood stereotypes. Hence, this site offers valid, factual information that combines history and culture with current activism issues. It does not offer "Native American spirituality,*" online teaching, or other items that may be popular on the Internet, but that don't relate to the reality of everyday Indian lives.
