Indian Cultures from Around the World

This website shows the different tribes that live in different parts of the world. Here you can know the diverse way of life of the people of different tribes. It’s a page that will interest any person not only an anthropologist because the information is not too difficult. The link for each tribe has basic information like the location, languages, and population. Also, you find pictures of the people, arms, tools, and utensils from the tribe.

There is also a list of books and other sites to find more information about the tribes. This is important to help research and learn about the tribes of the world because many are threatened.

FINALLY YOU ARE BACK!
I CKECKED THE SITES YOU SUGGESTED AND SEEM INTERESTING TO ME.
I HAD TO CORRECT YOU SOME MINOR MISTAKES:
SEEThe first site I recommend is the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) site:
Here you can find a very long list of courses in a wide variety of subjects, from Humanities, Arts and Social Science to Engineering. In every one of them you can also find a list of essential books, texts and a list of assignments related to the course. The MIT is DEVELOPING a very new concept of learning and knowledge, and all of this IS for free. You can download every paper and assigment you want, AND keep it in digital format on your computer, however you can't download the whole book . An excellent initiative of the MIT!!.

The other site I recommend is the web site of the Nature magazine: Here you can fin a lot of articles of this famous science magazine. However you won't get the articles of the last number if you don't have a subscription, but you can see the articles of OTHER numbers. Also is a pretty nice site, colorful and easy to navegate.

This are two very nice and useful web sites.
