Marines Raising Flag at Iwo Jima

Five United States Marines and a Navy medic raise the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, the highest point on Iwo Jima, during the Battle of Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945. This photograph remains one of the most famous images of World War II. Ira Hayes, a full-blooded Pima Indian, was among the marines who helped raise it.  Microsoft ® Encarta ® Reference Library 2005. © 1993-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

The California Indian Library Collections (CILC) was funded with the aim of returning unique cultural materials to California's Native Americans and making the collections available to all citizens through their local libraries. Archived sound recordings, photographs, and textual materials (such as books, journal articles, unpublished manuscripts and field notes, many of which were gathered by Berkeley researchers in the early years of this century) have been duplicated and installed in twenty-one northern and central California libraries. Each county collection contains materials specific to the tribes within that county.

The Oneida Indian Nation, one of the original members of the Iroquois Confederacy, enjoys a unique role in America's history having supported the Colonies in the struggle for independence from England. The Nation exists as a sovereign political unit which predates the Constitution of the United States. (Includes links to other tribes and American Indian resources.)
Thank you to Chico High School Library's fantastic Native American Resources webpage and especially to whoever took the time to write such awesome descriptions, from which vast portions of this list have been shamelessly ripped off. See them at http://dewey.chs.chico.k12.ca.us/amind.html

n. Canadian
An organized aboriginal group or community, especially any of the bands officially recognized by the Canadian government.

Usage note: Even though First Nations is still a mainly Canadian term, I like it because it describes indigenous peoples' status and shared experiences around the world.

There are a lot of wackos and wannabes on the web so please learn about Native Stereotypes and Evaluating Native Web Sites before you begin!
