analysis (about 1500 words, which is around 3 pages single space, but please

. Write a final paper discussing Indigenous
resilience, emgagement in politics, vulnarebility or any of those issues
covered in class in relation to texts or artworks we have discussed/analysed in
class. You are free to choose a topic
. The essay can be dealing with the readings or movies we saw in class,
or a combination and a comparison of those.
these are some of the topic that you can write about:
How does
settler colonialism attempt to erase the lives and histories of people whose
lands were taken?
–
Reflect/discuss
the powerful
testimonials of loss and survival of a modern day Indigenous American living on
an Indian Reservation

The voices of Guatemalan women
in leadership roles are featured throughout the film. Compare and contrast
their approaches, roles, vision, networks, etc.
–
Discuss the politics revolving
around federal recognition of tribes in the US (you can compare it again to
other context)
–
You can also reflect on the
speech by Sherry Mitchel that I sent for our final class

use quotes when you quote and then in the references list the books/articles
used. Use Times New Roman font 12, single and half spacing.
