On This Date In North American Indian History
By Phil Konstantin (copyright 1996-2002)
This site is undergoing some VERY major renovations. Please bear with me.

This site lists over 3000 historical events which happened to or affected the indigenous peoples of North America (Click the month names in the Dates section below). It also has Tribal name meanings and alternative names (click Names below), Indian "moon" names (click Moon below), and links to thousands of other sites (click Links below).
On February 6, 1999, I changed the title of this page from "This Week in North American Indian History."
The "Dates" section below has listings for historical events on a day-by-day basis, when such events could be traced to an exact date. This page is the result of thousands of hours of research. When quoting from original sources, the spelling of the names of places, individuals or Tribes was reproduced as first written. Due to changes in the calendar in the 1700s; errors on the part of the people
making the original records; or people printing those records, some dates may appear differently in different historical texts. I have attempted to cite the most accurate date, whenever possible. Because almost none of the Original People had written languages or precise calendars, many dates are related to their interactions with Europeans.
Many people have asked me how many people work on this site, the newsletter, the research, etc. As much as I would like to have a "staff," everything on this website is my work. I do get suggestions from my readers, and I am very thankful for that. I have tried to be as accurate as possible. However, my information is only as good as my sources. If you have something to add, suggest or correct, Please mail me, E-mail me, or leave a note in my guestbook.
I am a member of the Cherokee Nation.
