What's new on our site today!
As a complement to our Gros Ventre language information, we would like to share our
directory of indexed links regarding the Gros Ventre people and various aspects of their society. The emphasis
of these pages is on American Indians as a living people who have a present and a future as well as a past. Gros Ventre history is interesting and
important, but the Gros Ventre are still here today, too, and we have tried to feature modern writers as well as traditional
folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and the issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies
of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
