Integrative Study of Native American
Culture
by
Alice A. Christie, Ph.D
During this semester, our class will be studying Native
American Culture. Many of you know something of the Native
American groups living in Arizona, and we will build on that
knowledge to expand our understanding of Native American peoples.
There are many wonderful resources on the Internet which will provide
us with information, photos and drawings our various Native American
peoples. I have created a number of LINKS which you can use in your
own personal or group exploration.
Just click on any link which seems interesting to begin your
exploration.
