It's that time of the year again: American Indian Heritage Month, when Americans celebrate Native people in all their diversity and complexity. To that end, Blue Corn Comics has gathered several of its resources for the media, schools, and the Web in one handy spot. Editors, teachers, and bloggers can come here for content they can use to acknowledge the country's first inhabitants.

The Native and multicultural resources include:

• A "Know Your Natives" quiz with 13 questions ranging from easy to almost impossible. Newspapers and magazines can print it, radio shows can give it to listeners, and teachers can hand it out as a research exercise.
• Thought-provoking articles tied to the fall holiday season. Some are suitable for printing, while others will generate a lively discussion or debate.
• The Stereotype of the Month contest, with links to entries for Columbus Day and Thanksgiving.

"All these resources were available on the site before," said Rob Schmidt, publisher of Blue Corn Comics, "but they were difficult to track down. People wouldn't necessarily think of looking for American Indian Heritage Month resources here. By putting them together in one place, I'm hoping to help journalists, educators, and others find what they need."

To access the resources, go to American Indian Heritage Month. For more information, contact Rob Schmidt at robschmidt@compuserve.com or (310) 641-8931.
