American Indian homework (history)

INDIAN WORDS, MASCOTS, NAMES, AND PLACE NAMES ASSIGNMENT SECTION 02 and 03

This assignment is worth 50 (FIFTY) points and is due no later than THE DATE SHOWN ON THE SYLLABUS FOR YOUR RESPECTIVE CLASS. As follows: This is due soon—August 31 for the Monday class (there is no class on September 7th) and September 8th for the Tuesday night class and September 3rd for the Tuesday /Thursday class. Late papers will not be accepted.

The assignment must be typed--no hand written assignments will be accepted, you can do a list or use a table/tabular form. On a cover page please type the words Indians as Mascots, Symbols, Marketing Tools, and American Images, then your name, the class hour (19:00, 11:00 or 12:30 and the class section (01, 02, 03, 04). Failure to include this information on a cover page will result in a loss of 10 points.

The assignment is for you to look at brands, icons, symbols, mascots, weapons, vehicles, state names, parks, place names and so on with Indian names or images and prepare a list of twenty (20) such names or images (example Jeep Cherokee), state the tribe and tribe location (if any) represented (example Oklahoma/Georgia), what the product or image or mascot is representing ( example Jeep Four Wheel Vehicle), and why you think that name/image was used (example Outdoors/ Strength?). You can only use two examples per category, i.e., two mascots, two states, two weapons, two vehicles, two foods, two beverages, and so on. Do not repeat a tribe or name in categories—if you use a name for a river you cannot use it for a city or in any other category.

Some of you will be tempted to plagiarize and cheat by copying from friends and colleagues, I highly suggest that you do not do so. If I see two duplicate assignments—or close to duplicate—both assignments will receive an F.
