This portal is meant to be a jumping off place for all Nations, Tribes, Clans. When finished it will contain no profiles but it will contain the links and documents that will help you name historic individuals. In the related projects you will find projects of specific groups.

Since there are so many Indigenous peoples that will fit under this portal, it is Important that we remember that each group is different in language culture and custom. Many books that have been written about these people are written by those, although meaning well, got it wrong.

I am calling on those who are a member of any Nation/Tribe to help in this effort .

This is a long term project and will grow with time.

It is important not to be restricted by a perspective confined to the modern boundaries of the United States. For instance, maps of Mississipian Culture tend to omit mound building evidence in Manitoba and Ontario in Canada. An example of a report of the spread of the mound building culture to Manitoba is publiushed in a Winnipeg newspaper at http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/sacred-grounds-224681602.html .
