Increasingly the internet is a place where indigenous peoples can tell the world more about who they are and the issues they face. I want you to select one of the groups of people below to explore, using five internet sources. There are three parts to this assignment.
Part One: The first part of the essay will be a traditional essay (complete with citations) in which you will cover:
1. The geographic location
2. Population of the group
3. Social structure
4. Economy
5. Language group/ethnic status
6. Religion
7. The primary issues and difficulties that the group faces today.
Part Two: You will review each of the websites you have used with a small paragraph. This means five small paragraphs in total. I want you to cover what information it contained, who was it written by, who is the audience for this website, and how useful you found it. Please feel free to use podcasts, Youtube videos, or documentary sources. I want you to find TWO sources written by the peoples themselves and tell me the differences between the websites written by the people themselves and about the people. Do proper annotations and be specific about the sites you used.
Part Three: In a final paragraph tell me if you think the internet is a good thing or a bad thing for indigenous peoples and why you have come to this conclusion.
This total word count of this project must be at least 1500 words and will have five websites as your sources. DO NOT use Wikipedia, Encarta or any other online encyclopedia for this project, or websites for tourists or commercial enterprises. I will take off points for this!! Use MLA referencing for your citations. Your paper MUST be cited properly!
