Circumpolar Peoples

Break free from frames with this link.


This WWW Virtual Library offers access to WWW resources regarding Circumpolar Peoples.

Resources are organized according to the following topics:

All of the resources made available here, have been developed by authors other than myself. They are commended for their excellent work.

I have tried to collect only meaningful resources. This is not a meta-site providing access to the complete resources on the topic. Given that the WWW contains more than 150 million web-site at the moment (March 1999), providing a complete directory seems to be almost impossible.

You may also wish to send me your comments and suggestions.

Thanks for your kind support and may you walk in beauty, balance and peace.



Coverage of all Indigenous Peoples in the Circumpolar Region cannot be accomplished by one person. I have done my best to list relevant resources, but I am aware that this is not enough to keep the Library updated.

Invitation

Therefore, I would like to invite you to join me. If you feel you are the person to take care of a country, or countries or even regions, please let me know, and I will hand over the task of maintaining the respective section of the WWW Virtual Library: Circumpolar Regions to you.

Please send an e-mail to me at: ldb_org@yahoo.com.au and I am happy to discuss with you our cooperation.

Thanks for your kind consideration.
