The project may also be accessed by using a yahoo or lycos search for
Trophies Of Honor or by accessing the Fineart Forum.

Trophies of Honor is a project to chronicle and preserve native culture
and art by presenting museum quality works on the Internet in
exhibition form. We are a core group consisting of approximately
seventy indigenous artists who wish to use the idea of "digital
immortality" to make native art and its' story available to future
generations.

The project has a two-fold purpose: exhibit 1] by utilizing the
Internet as a global format we will focus on the challenge of bringing
the vast resource of native cultures into the rapidly developing field
of information technology 2] chronicles as it stands, without analysis
or interpretation, will be made available to educational organizations
for study and exposure of the culture on behalf of indigenous peoples
everywhere. Moreover, the chronicles will be a reference resource for
all with interest, but even more so a repository of information for all
peoples of indigenous background to study art.

  This evolving project is hosted by Griffith University in Queensland,
Australia, and Mississippi State University in conjunction with the
FineArt Forum. FineArt Forum is one of the oldest network services for
the arts founded in l987.  In l995 the site was awarded the Sites Top
5% of all Web Point. Trophies of Honor is a project dedicated to
Indigenous Peoples around the world. Thank you for your support.
