A group of what I believe are High School students in Texas, have put together a beautiful website. Using pictures of Indians from the National Archives and adding text that appears when each picture is clicked on, they've created an emotional experience.

Picture the life of our first people. Hear the chanting and dancing around the fire. Smell the scent of herbs in the ancient ceremony. Listen to the medicine man and his mystical stories. Picture a land of endless boundaries and open range. Picture the prairie decorated by grass and wildflowers, undisturbed by modern technology. Picture a stream, crystal clear, providing bountiful food and life giving water. Picture a father showing his son how to string his first bow. Picture a boy riding a horse on his first hunt. Hear the whoop of warriors before the kill. Picture the women scraping hides for clothing, and smell the deer and buffalo, roasting slowly in the camp. Picture a time when Native Americans lived in harmony with the land. Picture the past, picture the future, picture-indian.com.
