Which Indians are you talking about?\n\nNative Americans or India Indians?\n\nIf you are talking about India Indians...Here's your number one source =].\n\nI've done many research projects, papers, and lectures on India--and to top all of that, I'm Indian myself.\n\nLemme no if that's what you were talking about!\n\nAlso, I'm not leaving any websites here because I don't know what you need to know about them. Try specifying what you're looking for so it's easier for people to help you..and it'd avoid people questioning your own question! Lol..\n\nAnyways, feel freee to message me from my Yahoo Answers Profile..I'll get back to you asap! =]\n\nTake care and have a nice fridayy! =]

Wrong question. Ask instead if you can build relationship with local tribes. \n\nMost indian communities are not impressed with claims like "I'm 1/64th indian!" It's not like there is a long-lost brother coming home.\n\nRather, most identity (in the world, not just among aboriginal communities) is relationship-based: if you are a real member of a real community, and your relationships are real, that counts for more than blood.

Part One\n(revised 2.28.96)\n\n\n[Note: This is a single part of what will be, by my classification, about 240 compact tribal histories (contact to 1900). It is limited to the lower 48 states of the U.S. but also includes those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that had important roles (Huron, Micmac, Assiniboine, etc.).\n\nAlthough this Cherokee history is larger than most, it's content and style are representative. The normal process at this point is to circulate an almost finished product among a peer group for comment and criticism.\n\nUsing the Internet, this can be more inclusive. Feel free to comment or suggest corrections via e-mail. Working together we can end some of the historical misinformation about Native Americans. You will find the ego at this end is standard size. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments...Lee Sultzman]\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nLocation\nOriginal: \n\nThe southern Appalachian Mountains: including western North and South Carolina, northern Georgia and Alabama, southwest Virginia, and the Cumberland Basin of Tennessee, Kentucky, and northern Alabama.\nCurrent: \nDistributed across the United States, but concentrated in eastern Oklahoma. The eastern Cherokee still maintain their reservation in western North Carolina. The Northern Cherokee Nation of the Old Louisiana Territory has almost 12,000 members and has been recognized by the State of Missouri. Other groups of Cherokee, like the 2,500 members of the North Alabama Cherokee, are located in Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama but currently do not have federal recognition.\n\nPopulation\nEuropean epidemics introduced into the southeastern United States in 1540 by the Desoto expedition are estimated to have killed at least 75% of the original native population. How much the Cherokee suffered from this disaster in unknown, but their population in 1674 was about 50,000. A series of smallpox epidemics (1729, 1738, and 1753) cut this in half, and it remained fairly stable at about 25,000 until their removal to Oklahoma during the 1830s. The American Civil War was the next disaster and cost the Cherokee 25% of their population. No other group of Americans, red or white, suffered as severely during this conflict. The 1990 census listed 308,132 persons (15,000 full-blood) who identified themselves as Cherokee. Of these, 95,435 were concentrated in eastern Oklahoma while 10,114 eastern Cherokee lived on or near the North Carolina reservation. Cherokee tribal governments have fairly liberal membership standards, and some estimates exceed 370,000, which would make the Cherokee the largest Native American group in the United States.\n\n\nName\nThe most familiar name, Cherokee, comes from a Creek word "Chelokee" meaning "people of a different speech." In their own language the Cherokee originally called themselves the Aniyunwiya (or Anniyaya) "principal people" or the Keetoowah (or Anikituaghi, Anikituhwagi) "people of Kituhwa." Although they usually accept being called Cherokee, many prefer Tsalagi from their own name for the Cherokee Nation (Tsalagihi Ayili). Other names applied to the Cherokee have been: Allegheny (or Allegewi, Talligewi) (Delaware), Baniatho (Arapaho), Caáxi (or Cayaki) (Osage and Kansa), Chalaque (Spanish), Chilukki (dog people) (Choctaw and Chickasaw), Entarironnen (mountain people) (Huron), Gatohuá (Creek), Kittuwa (or Katowá) (Algonquin), Matera (or Manteran) (coming out of the ground) ( Catawba), Nation du Chien (French), Ochietarironnon (Wyandot), Oyatageronon (or Oyaudah, Uwatayoronon) (cave people) (Iroquois), Shanaki (Caddo), Shannakiak (Fox), Tcaike (Tonkawa), and Tcerokieco (Wichita).\n\n\nLanguage\nIroquian, but Cherokee differs significantly from other Iroquian languages.\n\n\nSub-tribes\n\nThe Cherokee have been divided into three divisions depending on location and dialect (east to west): \nLower

As it is about religion you can make a go like "Every person in the world belongs to a tribe or to a religion. Every body is identified by his or her religion." and so on..... Good Luck for your project.

To be able to help you, I wouldneed you to add to your question (so I could find it again).  You would ned to list the City and State in which they reside.  THat would be a great start.  One question I would like answered, is this on the Indian Reservation?  \n\nDid he or they apply for  Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA)?  Maybe not, if they were disable prior.  \n\nAnyway, be more specific.  Indian reservation or not?  It matters if you want good answers.\n\nIndians there suffer, however Indians here in the Great Northwest get checks every month becasue of their fortune.  Below is a story of just how bad these Indians have it.\n    Jun 30, 2002\n\n    Wildfire Leaves Apaches With Misery--and Pain\n\n    By TOM GORMAN and STEVE BERRY , LA Times Staff Writers\n\n    WHITERIVER, Ariz. -- Even in good times, this Apache Indian reservation community struggles from paycheck to paycheck. The 60- year-old homes need paint and screens, fences miss slats, hulks of old cars sit abandoned in backyards.\n\n    For hundreds of Apaches, Wednesday's paychecks will be the last for months because their forest has burned. Fire robbed the town of its main livelihood: ponderosa pines to be milled at the tribe's Fort Apache Timber Co.\n\n    "We will go broke by the end of the month," said Cindy Bennett as her husband picked up his last paycheck Wednesday at the mill.\n\n    About 70% of the 330 employees at the tribal company's two mills were laid off Monday as the Rodeo-Chediski fire, the nation's largest, raged through the White Mountains of northeastern Arizona. The remaining employees will be out of work in two weeks.\n\n    The fire's devastation is being felt throughout Navajo County at least 339 homes destroyed, 410,000 acres of forest charred.\n\n    But perhaps nowhere is the economic fallout of the fire felt more immediately than by the White Mountain Apache Tribe.\n\n    In coming days, hundreds of Apaches will run out of money to buy food and medicine. The tribe already has lost millions of dollars in revenue that goes toward a variety of social services and the cost of running its government. There are no trees to cut for the mills, no elk to attract hunters, no tourists to gamble in its casino or fill its motels and restaurants all revenue that feeds the tribe's general coffers.\n\n    The pain is felt in other ways too: Apaches are frequently targeted with icy stares when they shop off the reservation, blamed for the fire because it started on their reservation. There is resentment, too, that the Apaches' suffering is going unnoticed, with so much attention being paid to the plight of the other mountain residents.\n\n    "It was all Show Low this and Show Low that," said Sandra DeClay, referring to the city north of here that was besieged by the blaze.\n\n    "We are suffering," said Dallas Massey Sr., chairman of the tribe, which has 12,000 adult members. "Even before this, we had so many unmet needs, in infrastructure, in housing."\n\n    Indeed, this tribe was already in a world of hurt. Before this week's layoffs, unemployment stood at a staggering 60%. Household income for a full half of the families is below poverty level.\n\n    The reservation's beauty belies the economic hardships of those living here; most of its 1.6 million acres are carpeted in ponderosa pines; streams and lakes attract anglers, elk attract the hunters.\n\n    But in Whiteriver, where tribal government is headquartered in two, one-story brick buildings, there are only a handful of businesses a band, a gas station, a restaurant and small motel among others.\n\n    For the last seven years, Nelson Bennett Jr., 37, made a living sorting and stacking freshly cut lumber. He earned about $800 a month; most of it went for groceries and the $235 car payment for his '93 Chevrolet, chronically in need of repair.\n\n    And then there's the utilities, and medicine, and the occ
