DUE: Abstract 2-page abstract, title, theme, and what you expect to find. Include a short synopsis of two sources you have consulted (from the literature, magazines, or popular press). Single-Spaced, at least 300-400 words.
There are twelve federally recognized American Indian Tribes in Michigan. They are located all over the state: from the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in the U.P to the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians in Southwest Michigan. For a complete list of these twelve tribes (and their respective websites) see the State of Michigan website below: http://www.michigan.gov/dhs/0,4562,7-124-5453_7209-216627–,00.html (Links to an external site.)
For this assignment, you are to pick any one of these 12 tribes and thoroughly investigate them. You are to familiarize yourself with their history, culture, politics, and/or current issues of concern. (Note: you are free to choose any Indian tribe in North America, please consult with me about this.)
If the tribe has a website, consult it; if there are newspapers, read them. All tribes have members who are willing to talk with students, you are to interview a member of the chosen tribe (we’ll discuss strategies). You may even decide to visit a tribe at their reservation. All tribes have information about upcoming events, know what they are. In your research on the tribe, you should also consult at least three sources from the academic literature, newspapers, and/or books (not including the required texts for the course). In a 10 page paper, write about: 1) What you learned about them in about their central issue/s of concern and how you think that this issue could best be addressed, or 2) Another topic that emerges from your inquiries.
