A Line in the Sand

Website: http://www.hanksville.org/sand/

This is a website cooperatively created by 5 active members in the online world of Native American culture. It was created in response to an attempt by a wealthy corporation to use their work to create a CDrom project about Native American culture, without compensating them for their work. The website includes links to information about sovereignty issues, cultural property, legal issues, stereotypes (and reading lists to help de-bunk them), responses from Native Peoples on a plethora of subjects, and contact information for people wishing to use Native American materials from any websites.

The site includes an immense amount of useful information and is a great resource when traversing the slippery slope on copyright issues in cyberspace.
