Native Americans and the Environment
Alx V. Dark, Anthropologist/Software Developer.
This site, created by cultural anthropologist Alx V. Dark, offers more than 2,500 links to documents, lesson plans, and websites relating to Native American land rights and environmentalism. The site’s goals are to educate the public on environmental problems in Native American communities, to explore values and historical experiences that Native Americans bring to environmental issues, and to promote conservation measures that respect Native American land and resource rights. The site is divided into five sections. The “Introduction to the Issues” consists of a 2,500-word essay by anthropologist David R. Lewis on North American Indians and the environment in the 20th century. The “Bibliography and Search” offers a keyword-searchable database of more than 2,200 print and online sources covering topics like environmental justice, conservation, traditional environmental knowledge, traditional foods, natural resource utilization, land and treaty rights. “Internet Resources” includes educational resources and an annotated directory of more than 100 sites arranged by North American region and by subject, such as agriculture, horticulture, ranching, cultural and historical issues, fishing, sacred lands and graves, and water rights and dams. The “Case Studies” section includes only one study, that of the Makah Whaling Conflict in Washington State, in which the Makah tribe is fighting to return to whale hunting. Nine other case studies may be added in the future. Though most of this site is geared toward very recent history and contemporary American Indian and environmental issues, the “Cultural and Historical Issues” section has links to other sites dealing with American Indian history, transcripts of famous speeches from 19th- and 20th-century Indian chiefs and prominent American Indians, and oral histories from 20th-century American Indian environmental activists. This site is a good resource for researching recent American Indian history and environmental issues.

The Underground Railroad
National Geographic.
In the 19th century the “Underground Railroad”, a secret network of Northern abolitionists, guided hundreds of escaped slaves to Canada and freedom. This creative, interactive site places visitors in the shoes of a Maryland slave pondering escape to Canada in 1850. The visitor is allowed to choose whether to escape or remain enslaved; if they choose to escape they are led into one of the Underground Railroad escape routes through Wilmington, Delaware, and Philadelphia to Rochester, New York, and across Lake Erie into Canada. Along the way they are introduced to several prominent abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman, Quaker businessman Thomas Garrett, and escaped slave Frederick Douglass. Some of the stops along the escape route are accompanied by audio clips of African-American spirituals, bloodhounds in pursuit of escaped slaves, and the sound of a train. The site also includes a map of Underground Railroad routes; a timeline of African slavery in the New World from 1500 to 1865; and portraits and brief (100-word) biographies of 12 major figures in the Underground Railroad, such as Lucretia Mott, John Whittier, and William Still. A link to classroom ideas provides nine class projects for high school students. There are also links to seven related websites and a bibliography of 18 scholarly works. A forum allows visitors to post comments or questions about the Underground Railroad or the website, but because the forum link is not monitored or edited the discussion threads’ usefulness is uneven. Though this innovative site contains no primary documents, it is an ideal beginning for students interested in slavery and abolition and for teachers seeking background and classroom project ideas on the Underground Railroad.
