All
Experts: Homework Help
Calling themselves "the oldest
and largest free Q&A service on the Internet," All
Experts boasts a network of a thousand question-answering
volunteers. Find an expert by navigating through the subject
directory. Clicking on your topic (such as Geography or Spanish),
you'll be presented with an annotated list of volunteers.
Each expert has a profile with ratings and comments from previous
question askers, so you can choose your volunteer based on
past performance.

IPL
KidSpace: Ask a Question
At IPL KidSpace there are no previous
questions and answers to peruse, just a form to submit your
own query. Questions will be answered via email by a school
librarian in a couple of days. Most likely, the volunteer
will point you to Internet resources where you can find your
own answer. What else would expect from a librarian? IPL KidSpace
reminds us that our own school librarians are terrific (and
live) resources that should not be
overlooked.

RefDesk:
Ask the Experts
Wouldn't it be wonderful if your class
could submit questions to a real astronomer while studying
the solar system? Or how about an entomologist to answer your
bug questions? This site contains the Web addresses of fifty
experts who are willing to answer questions. It is not as
extensive a list as the Pitsco site (see below), but it is
a good starting point.

Institute
of American Indian Art
The IAIA was founded by visionaries
who sought to reawaken artistic traditions that had been a
primary mode of Indian expression for centuries. As the first
Indian educational institution to be premised on the value
of the cultural heritage of America's Native peoples, self-identity
and individual expression were encouraged, and the contemporary
arts were taught as a vehicle for that expression.

The
Chickasaw Nation.
We have provided current information
about our events, locations, news and employment opportunities
here as well as brief overviews of what makes the Chickasaw
tribe unique and special. With our boundaries encompassing
more than 7,648 square miles of south-central Oklahoma and
our citizens here and around the world, we are still known
as the "great unconquered and unconquerable nation; a
nation known for its bravery and more especially for its intrepid
warriors and its dynamic women; never known to have lost a
battle."
