Hello Sonia

I am in high school in Orlando Florida and have been given an assignment. Thought maybe you could give me some suggestions as to web sites I could go to.

The project is writing a "Diary" from the view point of a Native American during the years of 1864 through 1890. It is a project regarding prejudices that could lead to genocide of minorities (as in the Holocaust).

I have to pretend I am a Native American and discuss, through my eyes, "my treatment and life" as they were back then.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help

Andy
