Greenwood Publishing Group : The American Indian Experience

Description

Drive around the United States and you will encounter streets with names like Sagamore, rivers called Saugatuck and Rippowam, mountains such as Mt. Shasta, and states named Connecticut, Indiana, and Nebraska. All of these attest to the influence of Native American culture on America, as do the iconic status of Sacagawea, Pocahontas, Geronimo, and others. But what do we truly know about American Indian culture, as it was and as it is?

Reviews:

-"…the real strength of this file is the lure of its serendipitous discovery and the substantial content. Browsing through the Timeline is an education in itself, as is browsing the Image Index, the Primary Sources, and the Landmark Documents. Scanning the Subjects, their Categories, and their Sub-Categories will give any researcher a fuller idea of what's in this file…kudos to Greenwood for bringing out a multimedia file on the American Indian Experience, a resource that is long overdue in the electronic scholarly world. …a much needed contribution to scholarly research and will complement the access to published material available through the Bibliography of Native North Americans. BOTTOM LINE Strongly recommended for school and public libraries, as well as for academic libraries serving American Indian studies and ethnic studies researchers." —Library Journal

-"The American Indian Experience easily provides users with the ability to explore content such as art, music, education, family, migration, spirituality, warfare, government, and more. ...Report Card: It's hard to imagine school or public libraries that serve American Indians within their communities lacking Greenwood's American Indian Experience database. As a native Oklahoman, I have long recognized the need for these unique resources for classroom research and instruction, and yet the opportunity to build such a collection of outstanding resources is often limited. However, Greenwood's American Indian Experience provides not only a depth that might not otherwise be possible in the school library, it also captures the importance of exploring issues and ideas that might not be addressed within the regular history classroom. Once again, Greenwood's American Mosaic Online Resource database series has expanded to include an excellent online resource that simply must be added to those library collections that seek to provide outstanding resources for instruction and understanding of Native Americans. Without a doubt, Greenwood's American Indian Experience deserves an A+." —School Library Journal
