Please note that the Beaver and other
American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Ancient history is interesting and
important, but the Beaver 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 the life and struggles of today as well as the tragedies
of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
