Heroes of America's First Nations |
This site is here to help provide basic information about the Native People that dedicated their lives in the effort of preserving and defending their families, their lands, their culture and at the end even their language. Anyone older than about 30 or so has most likely seen their share of cowboy & Indian movies and has heard of a lot of the people that you will learn about here. Hopefully these pages will help the common person put some historical events, places, names and faces together, and get a beter idea of who these people really were, what they did and why. |

That is why I call them Heroes! |
