Native American Technology and Art NativeTech, an educational web site, covers topics of Native American technology and emphasizes the Eastern Woodlands region. It provides simple instructional information about how some of these materials are used by Natives. More importantly, It provides detailed background on the history and development of these kinds of Native technologies, showing both the change and continuity from pre-contact times to the present. NativeTech is dedicated to disconnecting the term 'primitive' from peoples' perceptions of Native American technology and art. A discussion forum will be opened for examination of issues of the past and of today.
Participation is invited.
Services have been expanded to include a web page featuring links to government agencies, a small business development program, and other American Indian and Alaska Native sites on the internet. You can access the National Archeological Database with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act and other related documents.
