• A description of the historical and contemporary relationship between the tribe and the U.S. government.
• A description of the social, political, economic, and religious aspects of the tribe, including their descent, kinship and marriage systems, political structure, and religious beliefs.
• A summary of contemporary issues facing your chosen tribe, which can include issues such as health, economic, environmental, or sovereignty issues.
• A summary of how your selected tribe compares and contrasts to at least one other tribe’s cultural, spiritual, political, economic, or social expressions. (You can integrate these comparisons within your descriptions of each of the topics above or as its own separate section of your presentation).

Your presentation will be evaluated on the content, overall organization, and your use of graphics in relation to the five main components. A portion of your final grade will be based on how well you incorporated the instructor feedback that was given to you throughout the course on your weekly assignments, so be sure that you take this into consideration when preparing your presentation.
