RESEARCH PROJECT

November 19/20


You will be choosing a topic that explores some aspect of the Native American experience.  This aspect can relate to current issues, cultural beliefs, or historical events.  To select a topic you will want to review class readings, homework, search gale data bases, library guides and Google.  Once you have decided upon a topic, start researching!  Use the "citable chrome" note-taking format to record  relevant research and sources used. Sources must be correctly cited using easy bib or citation maker.

Below is a link to the library guides to get you started.
