I'd like to thank Tonia Williams, the Cherokee Nation webgoddess, and her web development team for their time and energy in building of the award-winning Cherokee Nation site from a one-page site to one with over 1,000 nodes. I also appreciate how gracious she was to spend time with me on the phone (personal communication, September 16, 2005), making sure that I had the history and details of the site's development correct. A grant from the Technology Opportunities Program (TOP) helped to finance the work it took to build, maintain, and upgrade the infrastructure of the site.
