˜Sac and Fox Culture and History Links –

As a complement to our Sauk-Fox language information, we would like to share our collection of indexed links about the Sac and Fox people and various aspects of their society. The emphasis of these pages is on American Indians as a living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Sac and Fox history is interesting and important, but the Sac and Fox 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 issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
