Great list of links about American Indian tribes

Priceless collection by a photographer hired by J. P. Morgan in the early 20th century to photo-document various native scenes, lots of variety here shows the many different cultures

Food lists for different languages -- fantastic

This is the project to collect information on these languages

Wow -- same project, tons of resources for students

Early for this, but here's some Pearl Harbor links because today is the day Pearl Harbor was attacked (thanks to Sharon for reminding me)

Short video with Roosevelt speech

Photo of the memorial site with the U.S. Arizona sunken under the visitor center

Newsreel (warning, use of the word "Japs", which can be insulting today)
