>"The content of NativeWeb at the moment is predominantly about the Americas,
>from the Arctic to Amazonia. In time, this will change. As access to the Web
>grows, as native peoples of other continents reach out through cyber-space,
>NativeWeb will grow also.
>
>Already there are links to the Sami of northern Europe, the Maori of New
>Zealand, and Aboriginal Peoples of Australia. Indigenous Peoples have much in
>common amidst great diversity:
>
>spiritual practices celebrating inter-relatedness of all Life on Earth; and
>historical suffering at the hands of industrialized nations and corporate
>entities. NativeWeb is concerned with all this:
>
>indigenous literature and art, legal and economic issues, land claims
>and new ventures in self-determination.
>
>NativeWeb is not limited to 'officially recognized' Peoples. Those who are not
>'native' by blood or by government standards may be 'native' by attitude and
>way
>of life. The truth of being 'native' is a matter of values and not of blood. It
>could not be otherwise in an increasingly mixed-blood world. Our concern is
>for
>communities rooted in indigenous life-ways.
>
>Our purpose is not to "preserve," in museum fashion, some vestige of the past,
>but to foster communication among people engaged in the present and looking
>toward a sustainable future for those yet unborn."

>be things like tribal law, environment, economic issues, literature, music,
>etc.
>Geography can be a country (Australia, Hawaii, Ecuador, etc.), and ethnic
>groups
>are Hopi, Lakota, Mapuche, etc.
