Navaho Smile

The original Native American photo in this digital art is from the Edward S. Curtis Collection at the Library of Congress. It is titled, 'Navaho Smile,' and it was taken circa 1904.

I adore this photo of this beautiful Native woman, who truly smiles from within. So I had to share it with you here.

Welcome to Native History Magazine

Native History Magazine is filled with pages that can help you learn about the history of Native American Indians --- which is also the history of North America. The focus of the magazine is geared toward educators, which includes parents. The majority of the articles are based on primary sources rather than secondary sources. For people new to those terms, primary sources are usually documents created at the time an event happened. Examples are letters, diaries, books, maps and some newspaper articles. Secondary sources are normally not first-hand knowledge or documentation; although these items do have a place in research. Classroom aids will be found in the "Lesson Plans" section.

In addition to the article-types described above, you will find pertinent contemporary articles. More information on the structure and content of this magazine can be found in the "Mission" section. Contributions are welcome.

"I can tell you that understanding begins with love and respect. It begins with respect for the Great Spirit. All things -- and I mean all things, have their own will and their own way and their own purpose. This is what is to be respected."

-- Rolling Thunder, Cherokee
