Class Discussion:
· “What Native American Peoples may reside in Coal Valley?” (click on image for link to full sized version)
· “What ideas do you have for incorporating Native American perspectives into your proposal?”
· “Why is it important to start with consulting Native American Peoples before planning a project?”
NOW PULL IT ALL TOGETHER. Create a RESEARCH PROPOSAL for your work in COAL VALLEY.
Click on the link to the left to access the Lincoln County Research Proposal template. Use the template to create your own RESEARCH PROPOSAL. A RESEARCH PROPOSAL is created by the researcher to
Describe goals of their research (what they hope to find out),
What do the artifacts you expect to find reflect about past people’s activities?
Why is their landscape context and spatial relationship to other artifacts important?
Why it is important,
How they will go about conducting their research (their methods),
and what they need to get the job done.
Often, the proposal is submitted to apply for money to do their research. It is also submitted to make sure that the research is being conducted safely and with little harm to the environment.
