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.
Use the Citation Machineto 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.

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!
