Does anyone have a good resource for American Indian history? Particularily in the Southwest region, around New Mexico? Wikipedia has very little info, and anything I search up on the internet is commercialized. The native americans would rather fill their site up about what they sell than their ancient history.

Looking for the 11th century area of time, if anyone knows. Focusing on the Pueblo peoples.

Thanks in advance. I've been searching for two hours and am unable to find anything. Like, what the name of their tribe was and how big their land is.

ALSO: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/united_states/early_indian_west.jpg

Just east of the Zuni area, in the little yellow block, what region is that? It says: WKHRES, then underneath it: Acoma, Laguna.

What is the WKHRES? It looks like that title might be obscured. Any help?

Thanks again,

Heres a website with some general Southwest Info (http://www.desertusa.com/ind1/du_peo_native1.html) , like tribes, a little history etc. Depends upon which tribe you're researching, I know mostly about Navajo History, but then again the Navajos didn't really arrive to the SW until later 1400s or so.

don't know what the WKHRES means, might be some title just attached to the region.

If you put in the names of the ancient regional cultures into Wikipedia...like Hohokam, Anasazi (or Ancient Pueblo people), and Mogollon, you get fairly good articles.
