I will hopefully add more links as I find them.
If you find a helpful link, please email it to me so I can possibly add it.
- OAC - Online Archive of California, which was started by the University of California's California Digital Library, provides access to over 200 library online archives throughout California including the ten UC schools. Great for original, historical pictures of your tribe's people and settings.
- For a more NARROWER search, use the UC Berkeley Hearst Museum of Anthropology's collection.
- Since they have one of the largest collections of California Indians in the entire world, the Hearst Museum's website allows you to search for artifacts online. So, if you're looking for tools, clothing, etc., you probably want to search here (NOTE: I've narrowed the search for you to "California Tribes").
- Another great resource for artifact research is the fifteen-year-old Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian. It is a massive collection that has been organized into some indigenous groups, types of media, artifact collections, etc.
- If you need help with your language slide, you can find some words in your tribe's language to use from this website. Search for information on your tribe among the links in the white boxes.
- It always helps to do a basic search for your tribe. They may have a tribal (or a tribe's band) website, and these websites usually contain helpful additional information and pictures. Here are a few:
- Miwok
- Yurok
- Round Valley Indian Reservation, home of the following tribes: Concow (Konkow), Nomlacki (Nomlaki), Pit River (Achemawi), Pomo, and Wailacki.
- Helpful link for this year and especially for next year if you are asked to do a Native American report is the First Nation Seeker website. The website's name is a reference to the continent's first people/nation, it contains information and link to Canadian AND American Native Tribes. You're going to have to do some clicking and your tribe may not be there.
Lastly, did you misplace or lose your California Indians resource sheets? Access it here online.
