There is much to learn of the Indians of North America, including their history, types of records, the location of those records, web sites of interest, and much more. The study is large enough to justify approaching this project in phases. | There is much to learn of the Indians of North America, including their history, types of records, the location of those records, web sites of interest, and much more.

=== Foundation: state pages === | |||
A foundation has been laid for the project by establishing a page for the Indians of each state of the United States. Those pages include a list of the tribes and bands of Indians currently residing in the state and those historically associated with it. The state pages also list reservations, Bureau of Indian Affairs agencies, Indian schools and health facilities, important web sites, and a bibliography for further reading. Each of these tribes, agencies, reservations, etc. are deserving of a page of their own. | A foundation has been laid for the project by establishing a page for the Indians of each state of the United States.
