Native+American+Museum+Project

=Native American Museum Project Links =  Have you used the [|Middle School Library Reseach]page yet? If not, you need to. It will be the best way to conduct your research for this project. The purpose of this page is to provide some additional links that might be worth checking out, especially if you get stuck and don't know what to do next! There are links about how to do citations/bibliographies, examples of exhibits to give you ideas about how you could do your own, general resources related to the cultural regions, and finally, reliable websites sorted by region.

__Citation:__
Use the [|Citation Machine]to help you with citation of books, articles, photographs, documents and more. Another citation generator is at [|OSLIS: MLA Citation Maker]. This works pretty well too.

__Example of an //unreliable// source:__
[|Hopi Civilization] Why is it unreliable? Well, take a look at who wrote it: This is Ellie Crystal, who describes herself as Psychic, Therapist, Reiki Master, Teacher, Author, Researcher, Lecturer, and Broadcaster. On her other website, she writes that __Men in Black__, __The Matrix__, The __Da Vinci Code__, aliens, and ghosts are all REAL. Still trust her site about Hopi Civilization? I hope not!
