This assignment is based on a tribe you selected (I selected Navajo tribe). Research on your selected tribe using the provided database of university and websites, and address the following deliverables of part 1 and part 2. Each part must be answered in a separate word document.

 

Part 1 (complete 2 pages)

For this part, include the links to at least three articles that you will use to find information about your tribe of choice (I selected Navajo tribe). These articles must come from the links provided below ( see guideline 1). This will include summaries of the articles you intend to use for your presentation. Summaries should include the title of the article, the author, where you found the article (which database or ebook), and a few sentences explaining what information you found in each article.

Also, include the links to at least three websites where you have found information about your tribe. The websites must adhere to the guidelines for choosing websites as described below. Suggested websites are also included in the instructions below (see guideline 2). You must include a few sentences explaining what information you found in each website.

Encyclopedia Britanica: http://www.britannica.com.ezproxy.saintleo.edu/

(Guideline 2)

To find information from websites, you must adhere to the following guidelines:

• You must use only websites ending in “.org” or “.edu” or “.gov unless you receive special permission from your instructor to use a “com” website (e.g., nytimes.com, intertribal.net, etc.). Special permission will be granted only if the website comes directly from (is published by) the tribe you are studying or if you are using a site similar to LegendsofAmerica.com.
• It is important that you do not use “.com” sites for a project of this nature as it is very difficult to verify the source of the information you are reading.
• You must not use Wikipedia for information about your tribe. You can use Wikipedia or Wikimedia for images or maps related to your tribe.
