Subject: NEW: NATIVEWEB - Native Web List AnnouncementNATIVEWEB on mailto:LISTSERV@THECITY.SFSU.EDU - Indigenous Peoples' resources on the World Wide Web
Nativeweb is an open, unmoderated discussion list featuring a forum that will discuss issues regarding Indigenous Peoples' resources on the World Wide Web. We will offer suggestions and help to people who are creating their own web pages. We hope to create a centralized resource page that will make researching Indigenous Peoples a bit easier.

----- Additional Information -----
The Nativeweb has a homepage located at:
http://web.maxwell.syr.edu/nativeweb
"The content of NativeWeb at the moment is predominantly about the Americas, from the Arctic to Amazonia. In time, this will change. As access to the Web grows, as native peoples of other continents reach out through cyber-space, NativeWeb will grow also.
Already there are links to the Sami of northern Europe, the Maori of New Zealand, and Aboriginal Peoples of Australia. Indigenous Peoples have much in common amidst great diversity:
Spiritual practices celebrating inter-relatedness of all Life on Earth; and historical suffering at the hands of industrialized nations and corporate entities.
The content of NativeWeb includes these areas:
Indigenous literature and art, legal and economic issues, land claims and new ventures in self-determination, etc.
NativeWeb is not limited to 'officially recognized' Peoples. Those who are not 'native' by blood or by government standards may be 'native' by attitude and way of life. The truth of being 'native' is a matter of values and not of blood. It could not be otherwise in an increasingly mixed-blood world. Our concern is for communities rooted in indigenous life-ways.
Our purpose is not to "preserve," in museum fashion, some vestige of the past, but to foster communication among people engaged in the present and looking toward a sustainable future for those yet unborn."
As we are working on the Native Web site, we are in need of volunteers to search and retrieve documents to be included in this site. First, define an area which is of personal interest to you. Currently, the site is organized by subject, geography, and ethnic groups, so define your searches in that way. Subjects can be things like tribal law, environment, economic issues, literature, music, etc. Geography can be a country (Australia, Hawaii, Ecuador, etc.), and ethnic groups include Hopi, Lakota, Mapuche, Aztec, Maya, Inca, etc.
