MYTHING LINKS

by
Kathleen Jenks, Ph.D.

This is Glenn Welker's wide-ranging website on "Indigenous Peoples' Literature"; it focuses specifically on
creation/origin/migration narratives from North and Meso America. Welker has close to 60 rich, profound, troubling, beautiful, sometimes violent, always thought-provoking sacred stories here.

Creation Myths & Sacred Narratives of Creation

"Key
                        Resource" in the Natives topic

Key Resource

How your page was selected

Each quarter, Links2Go samples millions of web pages to determine which pages are most heavily cited by web pages authors, such as yourself. The most popular pages are downloaded and automatically categorized by topic. At most 50 of the pages related to a topic are selected as "Key Resources." Out of 50 pages selected as Key Resources for the Natives topic, your page ranked 36th. For topics like Music, where there are a large number of interested authors and related pages, it is harder to achieve selection as a Key Resource than for a special-interest topic, such as Quantum Physics.

The Links2Go Key Resource award differs from other awards in two important ways. First, it is objective. Most awards rely on hand selection by one or more "experts," many of whom have only looked at tens or hundreds of thousands of pages in bestowing their awards. Selection for these awards means no more than that one person, somewhere, noticed your page and liked it enough to select it. The Key Resource award, on the other hand, is based on an analysis of millions of web pages. Any group or organization who conducts a similar analysis will arrive at similar conclusions. When Links2Go says your page is a Key Resource, we mean that your page is one of the most relevant pages related to a particular topic on the web today, using an objective statistical measure applied to an extremely large data set.

Second, the Key Resource award is exclusive. We get literally hundreds of people requesting that their page be added to one or more topics per week. All of these requests are denied. The only way to get listed as a Key Resource is to achieve enough popularity for our analysis to select your pages automatically. We do not accept fees, offers of link exchanges, free advertising, or bartered livestock as inducements to add new sites to our lists. Fewer than one page in one thousand will ever be selected as a Key Resource.

Once again,
congratulations on your award!

Hello,

I write chronicles for a Swiss magazine about the Internet called
"Slash". I am currently writing a chronicle about your site and I'm
asking you if I may make a screen capture of your site, to be
published in "Slash".

Olivier Glassey

"This site has been designed to bring all information about the natives of North America. It contains information about Apache, Cheyenne, Comanche, Iroquois, Wichitas, etc.). It was so successful that sections have been added for other the indigenous peoples of the five continents (descendants of Mayas and the Incas in South America, Maoris in New Zealand, Aborines of Australia, etc.). This server contains extraordinary information about indigenous languages, traditions, myths and chiefs
(Geronimo, Cochise, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, etc.). "

NATIVE AMERICANS

Shendene (Ulysse) - Italy

Dear Sir:

Shendene is an Italian publishing company which operates in
the field of electronic publishing. At the moment we are issuing a new
CD-ROM which aims to provide the public with a better and more thorough
understanding of what is currently available on the Internet.

On the basis of research carried out on our behalf as to the
potential "universal target" of Internet, we realized that this new medium
is still used by very few people: even fewer are those who are actually
able to surf for specific goals or sites or with a clear knowledge of the
Net's full potential. Moreover, it must be added that navigating often
can prove difficult because of other well known factors such as slowness
in data transfer.

Our aim is to list by topic the BEST SITES CURRENTLY FOUND ON THE NET.

Le popolazioni "native messicane"

Each month we will reproduce IN FULL the top 100 sites for the
monthly topic, clearly indicating with special graphics those which are
most highly rated.

The main objective of our new publication is to provide an innovative
tool aimed at promoting the Internet and, in particular, the best sites
to be found. It mainly targets those who still have not started surfing
the Web or the first-timers ("newbies") who still find browsing difficult
and confusing.

This July's issue is on the theme of "MEXICO". We would be delighted
if we could include your own excellent site, in its latest update of June 15th.

Best regards,

Gianni Manfredini

Witness to the Future

Dear Friend,

I am writing to tell you that your Web site has been linked to the
environmental activist CD-ROM Witness to the Future.

Witness to the Future, to be released in early March by the leading
multimedia publisher The Voyager Company, includes a documentary on the
transformation of citizens into environmental activists, in addition to the
first electronic publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and over 500
content-based links to the World Wide Web.

We did an in-depth search to find Web sites like yours that
contribute valuable information about issues concerning the environment.
Since Witness to the Future enables the user to access related Internet sites
right from the disc, we provide an update function designed to keep the links current.

We hope you will find that our project complements your own efforts.

Please visit our Web site:

Witness to the Future

to learn more about Witness to the Future and publicize your
own activities with our "Add Your Own Voice" form.

Excerpt:

"I think the hardest thing, I think for our people to really face is what
this is doing to Mother Earth. What it is doing to the land, because she's a
living person."

"You can imagine before the landing of Columbus, there was Nirvana
here. There was a time when all air was clean, all waters were clean.
The future will see that the integral damage to the environment which
has been done here to our forests, to our range, is going to be an
everlasting damage upon all of society, all of the world. . ."

"What affects you affects me."

By connecting ourselves globally across the Internet we can unite to
encourage dialog and to inform citizens of the many issues that face us
all. Join us in a chorus of voices calling for environmental change!

Yours,
