Free Native American Books Online

Those that know me know I've taught Native American Studies for 8 years at Rainy River Community College and for the last couple of years, at the elementary school.

Lately, I've been wondering how many Native books were online.  So I started doing a search and came across some books of interest.  I didn't read all of these so please keep that in mind.

I'll list them here.
