Major Research Paper:Length: 8-10 pages double spaced and in APA format.

The style choice will be left to the student, but the expectation is that it will be Classification Style, Descriptive Style, Contrast/Compare Style, or Argumentative Style.

Students are to choose a topic BEFORE 1900 and discuss Indigenous contributions in these areas. As examples;

Governance Indigenous Knowledges Justice

Law Health/ health initiatives Political Process

Economic Development Spirituality and Worldviews Treaty Negotiation

Education Literature Representations

Métis Nationhood Food Security Arctic Sovereignty

The Fur Trade War Practices Gender Roles

Students will:

- Provide minimum 8 sources/references including 1 Journal Article (online or physical copy), 1 book reference other than your textbook (physical copy only), 1 Government document (electronic or physical copy) and 1 report from a private organization (electronic or physical copy). NO Wikipedia, Encyclopedias, Instructor’s power points, video lectures, or dictionary sources. News articles may only be supplementary material and do not count towards the 8 sources. Personal communications must be documented adequately.

- Analyze the research they have gathered, and the points discussed in sources. To support your arguments, you MUST use correct APA citations for both direct quotes and paraphrasing.

- Pages will be numbered in the top right-hand corner.

- No abstract necessary.

- Title page MUST have: The title of your essay (Not the assignment title), your name, the class code (INDG 1220 A01), and the due date of the Assignment.

- Avoid the use of contractions (EG: Don’t should be written out as do not)

- Be aware of spelling and grammar

Anyone writing "the Aboriginals", "The Indigenous", "The Indians" or "The Natives" in this class will receive a 0 on the assignment. Full stop. It removes any sense of sovereignty and self-sufficiency, and it encapsulates the group of people being discussed into one monolithic group. There are several First Nations, and they each should be treated with respect.

Unless it is a direct quote from a source, I do not want to see "The Aboriginals", "The Natives", "The Indians" or "The Indigenous". Qualify your statements and add a descriptor at the end.

IE: Indigenous communities, Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous cultures, etc. This also applies to European nations as well. Instead of "The French" use "French traders/ settlers/ fighters", "English or British authorities/ Government/ traders/ colonists", "Spanish conquistadors/ sailors/ colonists".

If you are wanting some specifics on how to discuss Indigenous peoples, check out "Elements of Indigenous Style" by Gregory Younging. An abridged version can be found https://indigenoustourism.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/19-12-Style-Guide-Media-Version-v8-1.pdf

**DO NOT USE ENCYCLOPEDIAS OR WIKIPEDIA AS SOURCES OF INFORMATION
