Introduction

=Introduction to The Wiki Research Project= An introductory course like American Indian Studies 210 is designed to give students a broad overview of the many topics involved in the field of American Indian studies. We talk a little about this. We talk a little about that. By this point in the semester, you’ve begun to wonder more deeply about some of the topics we’ve brushed on. This project is your chance to explore and research one of those topics. Find something that speaks strongly to you, read up on it, and let us know what you find.

Once you've chosen your topic and narrowed it down, research and represent a consensus view of the various fields invested in the topic (e.g. history, anthropology, health sciences, politics, etc.). Write an article of at least 600 words, and prepare an annotated webliography/bibliography of at least 20 sources. Your article and sources will be posted and archived here with student work from several other sections of this course.

 * Copy and paste your article/summary (600 word minimum) and webliography with hyperlinks into the space provided. It is important to make sure all of your hyperlinks work correctly so that future students can visit the pages you used in your research. Please double check their functionality.
 * This page is also where you can add pictures, change the color of your text, etc. Play around but keep it readable, please.
 * Click "Save" when you are finished. Your Wiki page is now live!
 * Optional: If you would like to be notified when a future student makes an edit to your Wiki (this will be part of the next generation of this assignment), click the "Notify Me" tab and set your preferences.
