This reflects my preference for the term "American Indian" over "native american." Although, there is something to be said for the totally "politically correct" term of:
Modern Descendents Of Pre-Columbian Inhabitants Of The Post-Pangean Continent Between Northern Atlantic And Pacific Oceans

All of the information on this site is available for free.

Below is a link to what I call the "AmericanIndian.Net Store." I get a very small "referral fee" from the listed businesses if you purchase their products or sign up for their services. You get what you want at their regular price. I would appreciate your visiting any of these sites which interests you. You are under no obligation to purchase anything, but if you do, it helps to support this site.
