This is a short report assigned in lieu of a midterm exam. The goal of the assignment is to understand that Native people and their communities are alive and kicking. They do not just exist ‘in the past’–as they are often misunderstood or stereotyped to be. Their resiliency and adaptation, their commitment, and endurance are extraordinary. They have never stopped working hard to survive and thrive despite the brutalities of over 500 years of colonialism.
STEP 1: Pick TWO articles from either one of the two online newspapers below. You can choose one article from each online newspaper, or you can choose both articles from the same online newspaper. They must both be articles about what TWO Tribal Nations (or two different confederacies/alliances of Tribal Nations) are doing currently (within the past few years). Pick what interests you–pick what you’re passionate about.
STEP 2: Write a total of THREE pages, covering both articles. The entire essay must be a minimum of three pages, double-spaced. Or you can write as much as want. At least one page must be given to EACH of the two articles. You could write one page on one article and two on the second article. Or you can split the essay evenly and write a page and a half for both articles. The essay should 1) give a short ‘book report’ on what each article was about, and 2) give your own short commentary on each of the articles. I encourage using some outside research, but it is not required.
STEP 3: Upload it to this assignment box as either a Word or a pdf file.
