Web site for information on Andaman and Nicobar native peoples

[jess tauber]

Anyone interested in getting much more "up close and personal" regarding the situation in the Andamans and Nicobars, both before the quake/tsunami and the developing disaster, is invited to go and read from the web pages of the Andaman Association- http://www.andaman.org

These pages cover much of the history, anthropology, genetics, linguistics, and politics of the islands, and are as of yesterday being updated re the current situation. I will continue to try to comb through the newsfeeds, and find out what information is filtering through from those sources.

I am hoping to put together a more comprehensive on-line collection of materials relating to Andaman and Nicobar languages which might one day help keep those languages from extinction, assuming of course that there are people left who might wish to retain them. First things first. Let us all pray for swift relief from disease and famine for all affected.
