NativeNetters may be interested in the following source of reference
material. I have looked at the list of categories. Though "Indians"
and "Native Americans" do not appear, there are categories under which
relevant materialo may be stored (e.g., "civil rights," and individual
states and regions of the country and world). A msg to the MIT address
as described will bring a form for further info...

> Political scientists can now obtain direct feeds of all White House press
> releases over a new system developed by a team of political and computer
> scientists at the M.I.T. Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. This feed
> contains all the document published by the White House and does not pass
> through intermediaries. It is free and the documents are public domain.
>
> An important feature of the MIT publication system is that it allows
> subscribers to customize their feeds according to a taxonomy of Presidential
> Documents (160+ categories). That means, you can select documents falling
> within particular subject areas and document types to be delivered directly
> to your email address or a mailing list of your choice.
>
> You can access the system by sending email:

> You will receive an email form from with which you can request the various
> services available from the server.

> This new system replaces an earlier more primitive system that has served as
> a distribution hub for these documents since the 1992 Presidential Campaign.
> In the near future, the new system will replace Clinton-Info in the White
> House FAQs.
