The following are links that I have found on the Internet that might be beneficial in your Native American research.  And, if you have a personal webpage or a database online (Ancestry, WorldConnect, etc.) let me know, and we'll add your link/data to the personal pages section. 

UPDATE 2006:  I was just informed that the Shawano Family History Center has a collection know as the HOOK FILES that pertain to Native American research.  I don't have all the details yet, but if you are at the FHC, Jeanette, Betty or Lu can help you search these!
