| Ojibwe Culture and History: Although both the Ojibwe and Dakota web sites are hosted on Geocities.com, the author establishes his authority with his name and connection to the University of Minnesota, despite a disclaimer that his site is not sponsored by the University. However, it is a graphically pleasing site, with information and links for the beginning Native American studies web-researcher. http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/5579/ojibwa.html |

Whiteness Studies: (from the
website): "Whiteness Studies is here,
a ghost haunting multiculturalism and critical race studies. Whiteness Studies
attempts to trace the economic and political history behind the invention of
"whiteness," to attack the privileges given to so-called
"whites," and to analyze the cultural practices (in art, music,
literature, and popular media) that create and perpetuate notions of
'whiteness.'"
