Extractions: The Native American History Archive (NAHA) Created in 1995 by Institute for Learning Technologies staff member Richard Calton, the Native American History Archive (NAHA) was an important early experiment in designing an online educational portal devoted to Native American resources for the use of K-12 teachers and students. However, because it has been many years since the site was updated and improved, we have elected to remove NAHA from ILT Web. For information on online resources concerning Native Americans we recommend that you visit: NativeWeb: Resources for Indigenous Cultures Around the World Developed by a group of historians, independent scholars, and activists, NativeWeb offers a gateway to more than 4,000 historical and contemporary resources relating to over 250 separate nations. http://www.nativeweb.org

Extractions: Conquest of Native America Hernando de Soto explored America for a seaway to China in order to trade Spain's New World gold. He followed trails that we use as highways. His records describe Native Villages along those trails at places that are cities again today. Conquest trails among Native American villages in 14 States are presented here. HERNANDO DE SOTO 1st Contact The Natives The Spaniards Trails by STATE DeSoto World Map The Complete Report Links to Other Pages Conquest Images Conquistadors were not sent deep into America before or after Hernando de Soto and Vasquez de Coronado . That, in itself, is argument enough for us to believe that those horsemen searched the better part of this continent, given that Spain ordered the exploration and/or colonization of ALL of the New World elsewhere.
