Sexual Violence Against Native Women Annotated Bibliography & Research Paper 5 pages MLA Double space

Your essay must reference at least 5 nonfiction sources.

The research essay assignment requires that you compose a 5 full pages essay that responds to the following prompt

The novel Ceremony and the documentary 30 Days: Life on the Navajo Reservation address many issues that Native Americans must still confront today, including, but not limited to, the following: cycles of poverty perpetuated by the reservation system, the exploitation of natural resources on Native lands, and the reality of racism from both outside and within Native communities. For this essay, you will select a topic that interests you, and then compose a sustained research paper that incorporates the principles of summary/paraphrase and argumentation developed in the first essay and adds outside research (5-7 pages). Keep in mind that your topic must be specific to a Native American community or communities, and remember that the novels we have read are only a springboard for thinking about issues facing Native communities; your essay should not reference either of the novels as sources. Instead, your essay must reference at least 5 nonfiction sources.

Possible Topics ?Choose ONLY ONE TOPIC?

Land rights & the exploitation of natural resources (e.g uranium mining on Southwestern reservations, hunting and fishing rights disputes in the Pacific Northwest, etc.)
The policy decisions that have led to a disproportionate number of COVID-19 cases on reservations
Sexual violence against Native women
