˜Shasta Culture and History –

As a complement to our Shasta language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Shasta tribe and their society. Please note that Shastas and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Shasta history is interesting and important, but the Shasta 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 a Shasta link to add.
