National Museum fo the American Indian Collections

Howka tribal members.. I was just sent this link from the American Indian Library Association emails. Thought our tribal members might enjoy looking around the site and seeing what they have that came from Santa Ysabel.
National Museum fo the American Indian Collections Search - The National Museum fo the Amercan Indian has a program whose goal is to digitize all 800,000+ item in their collection; 5,500+ are currently available. You can search by "People/Cultures", "Artists/Individuals", "Places", or "Object Specifics" (which consists to these choices: "Archeolgocial Items", "Ethnographic Items", "Modern and Contemporary Arts", "Photographic Collections", and "All of the Above Categories"). There is also an "Advanced Search" tool.
