Introduction
Indigenous
Peoples Literature is a non-profit educational resource
and collaboration dedicated to the indigenous peoples of the
world and to the enrichment it can bring to all people.
It
has been regarded by several
sources on the web as:
“An impressive archive of cultural material
about the indigenous peoples of the world, ranging from literature
and music to prayers and history. Viewers will find the complete
texts of key documents like the Iroquois constitution and
the original Hiawatha. The portrait of Columbus and his followers
provides a marked contrast to Columbus Day celebrations.”
“This site is a treasure-trove
of information for anyone interested in Native American traditions,
history, art, and literature. Links to original full-text
documents and image files are arranged by tribe as well as
by geographical region. Links to sites covering indigenous
peoples around the world are included.”
“This is an ambitious
undertaking which seems to have succeeded grandly, and
would seem to be an essential resource for both students and
researchers. An exhaustive, well-structured treatment of a
topic of great contemporary interest.”

“So
live your life that the fear of death can never enter
your heart. Trouble no one about their religion; respect
others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, make beautiful all
things in your life.”
Tecumseh,
Shawnee

Would
you like to learn how Indian
Names are decided?
You could also learn to make Indian
Recipes at home, or learn to sing Indian
Songs.
If you are not the reading kind you could always watch
Indian
Movies.
With all the resources about Native
Americans, its crazy not
to learn a little about them. |

"For
a person who cultivates wisdom or true knowledge,
the results are inner peace, satisfaction, patience,
respect for others, freedom from duplicity, compassion,
joyfulness, remembrance of his spiritual identity,
freedom from the fear of death,
freedom from anxiety and depression,
and so on."
