Oyate
From the website, "Oyate is not a bookstore. Oyate is a Native organization working to see that our lives and histories are portrayed honestly, and so that all people will know our stories belong to us. ... Our work includes evaluation of texts, resource materials and fiction by and about Native peoples; conducting of teacher workshops, in which participants learn to evaluate children's material for anti-Indian biases; administration of a small resource center and library; and distribution of chiildren's, young adult, and teacher books and materials, with an emphasis on writing and illustration by Native people."
 
Cradleboard Teaching Project
From the web site, "The Cradleboard Teaching Project turns on the lights in public education about Native American culture - past, present, and most important for the children - the Future. It comes out of Indian country, and reaches far beyond, into the mainstream classroom and into the future of education.   Backed by lesson plans and an excellent curriculum, the Cradleboard Teaching Project is also live and interactive, and totally unique; children learn with and through their long-distance peers using the new technology alongside standard tools,  and delivering the truth to little kids with the help of several American Indian colleges. Cradleboard reaches both Indian and non-Indian children with positive realities, while they are young."  This is a project of the Nihewan Foundation for American Indian education, which was founded by Buffy Sainte-Marie in 1996.

Wayawatipi
From the web site, "Wayawatipi is a new, small organization dedicated to providing hard-to-find educational resources to students and teachers. We use the Dakota word "Wayawatipi" ("schoolhouse") in the Indian sense to indicate that we are trying to provide materials that attempt to promote the search for harmony in an open and supportive atmosphere. We want to counter the attitudes of domination that still appear too often in textboks and other educational materials.."
