˜Bakairi Culture and History

As a complement to our Bakairi language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Bakairi tribe and their society. The emphasis of these pages is on Bakairis and other American Indians as living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Bakairi history is interesting and important, but the Bakairi 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. Please contact us if you have an Bakairi link to add.
