Topics with more than 5 links

Natives

Links to Aboriginal Resources literally thousands of links to numerous topics related to natives in North and South America. Everything from treaties to language lessons to maps can be found. Alas–the site has not been updated for some time so a lot of the links are dead–but that still leaves a few hundred still functioning.

Aboriginal Portal similar to the one above, only this one is maintained by the Canadian government. Nearly 20 different topics, each one subdivided into further sub-topics. Literally hundreds of links–all of them updated on a regular basis. There’s even an International section that covers pretty much every region in the world–and a link to a Global forum on Indigenous Peoples and the Information Society.
