Due to time limitations, we decided to limit our authors to those of North America, native by bloodlines rather than federal tribal recognition, with emphasis on contemporary authors. Originally we wanted to include artists of all genres, but once again due to time constraints we were only able to include artists of the written word with the exception of some oral story tellers. Resources used to locate our information include printed works, Library of Congress and other on-line bibliographic databases, and the World Wide Web. Information is as accurate as the resources that were available to us. Whenever possible we used several sources to verify information.
Any author finding inaccuracies or omissions is encouraged to submit corrections and additions.
