Introducing NATIVE NET
                        Native News The Native Way

             FOR RELEASE TO ALL NATIVE AMERICAN ORGANIZATIONS


        I would like to take this opportunity to introduce NATIVE 
     NET, the Native American news and information network.  NATIVE 
     NET is a computer network dedicated to news, issues, and 
     cultural information regarding the Fourth World, the world's 
     Indigenous Nations.  This network is geared toward any Native 
     American with access to a modem.  Although NATIVE NET was 
     designed for and by Native Americans, non-natives with genuine 
     concern and interest in Indian Affairs or Indigenous cultures 
     and politics are welcomed to join in as well. 

        NATIVE NET provides a wide range of topics and areas of 
     interest. For the serious minded you can find out the latest in 
     Native politics, treaty rights, land rights and international 
     law, or find out about current conditions on reservations and 
     historical perspectives. 

        For those looking for cultural material, NATIVE NET offers 
     discussions and information sharing relating to tribal 
     language, native stories, poetry and legends.  You can also 
     hookup and find out about upcoming pow wows, celebrations and 
     gatherings and conferences. 

        Looking for resources?  NATIVE NET can help!  From education 
     and grant opportunities to job listing and business development, 
     NATIVE NET provides direct links to trading, bartering and 
     programs being developed to help tribes help each other while 
     becoming self-sufficient and increasing self-pride. 

        Naturally, there are Conferences covering everything from 
     arts and crafts to political exchanges and cultural beliefs.  
     Information is available on issues from the U.S., Canada,  
     South America, Australia, Africa and Europe. Engage in 
     intelligent and educational conversations with knowledgeable 
     people who not only know Native affairs but live them every 
     day. 

        NATIVE NET is also a wonderful choice for schools, 
     universities and the media.  The current news and information 
     is a welcomed addition to Native studies because it provides an 
     up-to-date and current look at what is happening in Indian 
     Country.  Outdated school books and primers can't compare to 
     today's news . . . today. 

        NATIVE NET DEPENDS ON YOU!  NATIVE NET is also looking for 
     new information from Indian Nations not currently using our 
     network.  The more information and nations that utilize this 
     network, the more productive and informed our Native people can 
     be.  Sharing information, relating to cultural, legal matters, 
     education, etc., will help to unite Native people and provide a 
     wider base of information to draw from.  Any ideas or 
     suggestions on this matter are greatly appreciated. 

     The NATIVE NET network is growing all the time and more and 
     more information is coming over the echoes.  From Alaska to 
     Florida, California to New Jersey, Native news is happening all 
     the time.
