Akuntsu Culture and History

As a complement to our Akuntsu language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Akuntsu tribe and their society.

The emphasis of these pages is on Akuntsus and other American Indians as living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Akuntsu history is interesting and important, but the Akuntsu Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday.
