Online dating for Indians

E-Snag:  American Indian answer to online datingAmerican Indian singles looking for that special someone may now find a “snag” from the comfort of their home computers. For better or for worse, snagging has entered cyberspace.

E-Snag.com is the online dating service tailored to the Native American community and culture. The Web site was launched on Valentine’s Day 2006 after a year of creating and testing, said E-Snag founder David Underwood.

Underwood, who also owns the Pow Wow Cruise, said the idea for E-Snag came after his cruise business garnered interest in having a Native singles cruise. E-Snag was created out of a concern to have more equal balance between the number of men and women on the cruise.

Here’s how it works. For those who want to check out the site to see if it’s right for them, a free limited membership is offered. Prospective members fill out a personal profile and include a photo. The exclusive membership allows full access to the site’s features, and includes contact with other exclusive members and an internal private e-mail system.
