It depends on the language. Many universities have courses in various Native American languages. The University of Oklahoma has perhaps the most course offerings in this area.
Many Native nations offer courses in their ancestral languages as well, especially for the young people of that nation, because so many Native languages are endangered.
One can also attempt to learn certain languages by using the teaching materials that native speakers and linguists have developed in order to teach such courses. For example, anyone can purchase the book "Teach Yourself Mohawk," which is available through amazon.com and other retail outlets.
In my opinion, it's always best to learn from a native speaker, even though some teaching materials (like "Teach Yourself Mohawk") include tapes to help learners with pronunciation.

Good resources? That would be the native Americans since their language isn't on paper. It's passed down generation to generation.
