Native American Biographies

I found the website for Native American Biographies to be extremely useful in giving an overview of notable Native Americans throughout history.  The website is indexed alphabetically and provides links to separate pages.  The individual pages are supported by various websites and typically include several paragraphs, which include basic information of each person, both male and female, indicated.

Although I feel that this source is an excellent starting point for one who wishes to retrieve basic information, the pages themselves are brief.  However, as I said, these pages are excellent starting points, giving one the foundation upon which to further research each subject.

I feel it should be mentioned that the pages included in the link, while covering the Native Americans indexed, also focus on different subjects.  For example, the link included for Big Foot, who led the Miniconjou, who lost their lives at Wounded Knee, encompasses important events in the Old West.

In some cases, several links are provided for the more well-known Native Americans.  For example, there are several links for Sitting Bull, a Hunkpapa Lakota chief and integral part of history.  It should be noted that the links provided direct the reader to reputable sites, such as PBS.

Overall, Native American Biographies on the 42explore2.com site is a moderately comprehensive online resource for the beginner seeking various Native Americans biographies as a starting point for further research.  As the links provided do lead to further subjects, this site is useful for general topics in which Native Americans play an important role or for those interested in learning more about Native American cultures.
