Plains Indian Museum Galleries

Navigation Instructions for Web Visitors

As these sections are accompanied by personal narratives and other sounds, please turn on your speakers before you start your Online Experience.

When you click on either a photograph to the left of your screen or Online within each section of the Plains Indian Museum Galleries, a window appears containing a series of yellow or green dots. These dots consist of one of the following:

a) navigational buttons leading you to additional information;
b) a "Help?" button to show you where various navigational tools are found; or
c) a "CONTINUE" button that allows you to find still more information within a given subject area that you are reading.

(Note: As these buttons are not labeled, move your arrow around and click on each one to determine its purpose or content.)

When you move your arrow over one of these dots, a finger appears, and the color of that dot changes slightly. Also, you see concentric circles radiating out from the targeted dot. Click on each dot, and its purpose or content is revealed. Move either systematically from dot to dot or you may skip around, depending on your interest in the subjects and objects displayed. If you should have no response from dot, just move around within the dots and come back to the unresponsive dot later.

Within the "Honor and Celebration" section, click on the bottom dot first, before you begin. If you click on any of those found above the bottom dot, you will have no response.

The "Unedited Photos" sections, with drop-downs to explain each object, complement and illustrate the accompanying text and other visual information on these Web pages. If you wish to create an enlarged photograph of any object, just click on the photo and drag the enlargement, with the arrow inside the image, to the center of your screen. When you are finished looking at that object, drag the image back to the side, out of the way, and proceed to a photograph of the next object you wish to view, or you may click on the small image and delete out the enlargement.

At the top right of each chromeless window, you may click on the small x to delete out that window, should you wish to switch to another section
