English summer assignment
For our English summer assignment, we had to research and Soapstone articles, a few of them being about native Americans. The article I researched focused on prevalence of alcoholism and suicide in native American populations today and throughout history. The purpose of this assignment was to kick off junior year in AGS, which focuses on Native Americans leading up to our trip to reservations in New Mexico. This assignment falls under the category of "recognizing perspectives", because it encouraged students to do research on an issue that native Americans face and get a different point of view on the topic. The reason this assignment answers my question is because it gave me a better incite on Native American issues on reservations such as alcoholism, domestic violence and suicide stemming from white encroachment.
