Internet Resouces

Asia Society A very useful source for information about Asian arts, culture, business, economics, government, social issues, etc. It provides links to related sites, maps, news, even a list of experts in fields and countries of your choice.
Center for World Indigenous Studies A site kept by CWIS, an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to knowledge about indigenous people and nations. It links to documents in such areas as international law, Fourth World issues, and traditional medicine.
CLNet Diversity Page Links to sites related to African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, women, gay and lesbian studies.
Cultures This site provides information about many countries in the world. Click on a country and get art history, travel information, and much more - much of it done by official representatives of the country in question.
Exploring Ancient World Cultures This site discusses cultures of the ancients (Rome, Egypt, etc.), but also has ancient documents that may have implications for the modern world.
