Non-Native people cannot experience what it is like to be Native, although they may offer information about Native peoples that is both accurate and respectful. Indian people may be primary sources about their own tribes and certainly are about their own experiences of being Indian. This is crucial when deciding whether to believe the Native view of a particular Web site. When in doubt, go to other sources you trust and ask. The Web is really a small place, and the offline identity of many people who are claiming Native identity is known in the Indian community.
Images are powerful messengers in any medium.
The Web has uncountable images of Native peoples as buttons, artwork, photographs, backgrounds, horizontal and vertical bars, and more. Many are respectful, but many are not. Examples of respectful images include accurate representations of material culture pertaining to the text, photographs used with permission, and artwork showing Indians as whole people with real life concerns, no matter what era is being depicted. Incorrect grammar, no articles, short choppy sentences. I am a blazed pine, in a clearing of the pale faces.
