American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Apache history is interesting and
import
ant, but the Apache Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional
folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies
of yesterday. Suggestions for new links are always welcome.
