Arizona Native Net
ArizonaNativeNet is the first online virtual university designed for use by Native American communities in the United States and Native Nations around the world.
It was developed and produced by The University of Arizona through a partnership led by the Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management and Policy at the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, the Native Peoples Technical Assistance Office, and the Indigenous Peoples Law and Policy Program at the University of Arizona's James E. Rogers College of Law.
The main purpose of ArizonaNativeNet is to provide Native Nations with access to the most up-to-date research, education, and distance-learning resources. The site is designed to be used by tribal leaders, policymakers, students, educators, media and the general public.

“Desert rains are usually so definitely demarked that the story of the man who washed his hands in the edge of an Arizona thunder shower without wetting his cuffs seems almost credible.”
—Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The language I have learnt these forty years,
My native English, now I must forgo,
And now my tongue’s use is to me no more
Than an unstringèd viol or a harp.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The violent illiteracies of the graffiti, the clenched silence of the adolescent, the nonsense cries from the stage-happening, are resolutely strategic. The insurgent and the freak-out have broken off discourse with a cultural system which they despise as a cruel, antiquated fraud. They will not bandy words with it. Accept, even momentarily, the conventions of literate linguistic exchange, and you are caught in the net of the old values, of the grammars that can condescend or enslave.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
