Native American Authors on the Web:

Native American Authors: Internet Public Library: This website provides information on mostly contemporary Native American writers, including biographies, bibliographies, and links to online sources, including related tribal websites. The site is updated regularly. The quality of each of the author links is uneven, but overall, this is a useful website to begin research on Native American authors. http://www.ipl.org/ref/native/

Central Oregon Community College Library: I've ordered several very recent books on Native American literature for the COCC library. Make sure you check them out. http://libcatalog.cocc.edu/

Sherman Alexie: Author of The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Reservation Blues, Indian Killer and the screenwriter for Smoke Signals, Alexie has attained almost celebrity status as a writer, public figure and stand-up comedian. This is Alexie's Official Site. It's updated regularly, and features a new, often unpublished poem, on a monthly basis. http://www.fallsapart.com/
