Page construction and coding was accomplished by Joyce Heuman Kramer, assisted by Louise Schmidlap. Louise Schmidlap supervised production, and Lee Gripp provided much-appreciated technical direction and assistance. Jim Batchelder of Rest Easy Hosting consulted on a number of specific coding issues. We thank the numerous individuals and institutions who created or provided the various maps, line drawings, reconstructions, and photographs.

Josie Chang-Order served as the primary education advisor, and Shirley Powell as the primary archaeological advisor, for this project. April Baisan, Karen Carlson, Margie Connolly, Paul Ermigiotti, Rebecca Hammond, and Sandy Tradlener reviewed the text and illustrations, providing valuable feedback that greatly improved the readability and usability of this resource. Special thanks to Deloria Lomawaima for sharing her insights into contemporary Hopi culture.
