My son Ari is a graduate
student in developmental/molecular biology and a software engineer,
whose site is rich with excellent code, hiking and birding information,
beautiful nature photographs, and great links to other sites,
including Earthtrust. He
has developed a bulletin board, which you can also see on his
site at http://www.magiccookie.com.
My daughter Elana is a writer/producer and standup comic working
in TV and film, including "Emeril Live!" who has been
a coordinating producer for "Inside Scoop"--a series
of Food Channel half-hour programs that take the viewer each week
to a different and fascinating food-related place, such as NASA's
food in space, a zoo, behind the scenes at the Good Housekeeping
Institute, and many more.
You can find her wearable art at Elana
Creations.

they all link to a variety of other interesting places.

groups.
Great Trading
Path -- a handsome presentation of art and information
located in North Carolina, whose home page states: "The Great
Trading Path exists in two dimensions. First on a level of Indian
history and heritage, and secondly, as a living conduit of trade
in today's world. We are building a fine collection of Native
American drums, beadwork, crafts, jewelry, greeting cards, pottery,
music, handmade soap and baskets. We are also planning to input,
by hand, if necessary, original source historical documents on
Native American history, focusing on the southeast Woodland cultures."
AlaskaNativeArtists.com
is a virtual art program serving Alaska Native artists. The website
was established by Sealaska Heritage Institute, a regional Native
nonprofit founded in 1981 to perpetuate and enhance Tlingit, Haida
and Tsimshian cultures.
The goal of AlaskaNativeArtists.com is to give Native artists
a new venue to sell their art, to promote traditional and contemporary
Native art, to educate the public about Native art and culture
and to help support Sealaska Heritage Institute (a portion of
all proceeds is used to fund language and culture programs offered
by the institute, which operates AlaskaNativeArtists.com as a
nonprofit vendor)
