“500 Nations, USA.” Hon-Dah Casino. 2008. White Mountain Apache Tribe. 6 Dec 2008. http://500nations.com/casinos/azHonDahCasino.asp

A Brief overview of the Hon-Dah Casino on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. It contains a few facts about the casino. The site is ran by 500 nations and has other casino information too.
I plan to use this site just to get a few facts about the casino that I might use. I just wanted to see some random facts such how many slot machines they have and stuff like that.
“Bureau of Indian Affairs, USA.” Indian Affairs. 2008. National Bureau of Indian Affairs. 6 Dec 2008. http://www.doi.gov/bia/index.html

This site is about the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the government institution that manages all the Indian affairs. It has facts about the Indian reservations. It also has many links to other sites that could be useful.
I will use these facts in my paper. That is the most important thing I need on this site. I can also check out the other sites and see if there is any information that I might need.

“Cherokee Nation v. the State of Georgia, 1831.” United States Supreme Court. 1831. 19 Nov. 2008. http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/cherokee.htm.


This is a Supreme Court Case. It was between the Cherokee Nation and the State of Georgia. The Supreme Judge ruled that he could not take the case because although the Indian lands were sovereign nations, they were within the boundaries of the United States so they didn’t fall under the jurisdiction laid out in the Constitution.
I will use this site to help explain about the history of the Indians and provide background on the Indian People. It will help to set a base for the history. This case was important and will be able to help the reader understand where the Native Americans are coming from better.

Another Supreme Court Case. Worcester was a missionary that served among the Cherokee people. Georgia made laws that made this illegal and put him in jail. He brought it before the Supreme Court and won. The judge ruled that the laws that Georgia had made were unconstitutional.
I will use this just like the last case. It is important to understand the history of the Indians to know from where they are coming and why they have certain views. This case was an important case in Indian history. Gatewood, Doreen Etelbah.

“White Mountain Apache Tribe Elk Hunting Program.” 2000. 27 Nov 2008. http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:X5DlqlJRXcMJ:www.uleth.ca/man/programs/majors/first-nations/case/1999/doreen_gatewood.pdf+apache+indian+hunting+regulations&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

This is a paper about the history of the hunting program on the White Mountain Apache Indian reservation. It contains the history of how they made the laws and how hunting has come to be a big part of Indian life. It has many facts and is very educational.

I will use this paper to draw a lot of my facts and ideas from. It is a well written paper and is one of few things I found that talked about the subject of hunting on the Indian reservation in the White Mountain area. I will draw a lot of the history of the White Mountain hunting program from here.

Helmer, Joel W. “Trophy Zones.” Outdoor Life. 211 (2004): 46-51. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. BYU library. 3 Dec, 2008. http://www.epnet.com/

This has some good facts about hunting and especially about trophy hunting. It talks about record books and from where the records come from. It is from EBSCO so it is a good, reliable source.

I would use this to just get some facts about trophy elk. I would see how many trophy elk have been killed in the White Mountain area and inn Arizona in general. I will present these facts to show how that area is great for trophy elk hunting.
“In Defense Of Animals (IDA), USA.” Hunting: Facts. 2005. In Defense of Animals. 6 Dec 2008. <http://www.idausa.org/facts/hunting.html>

This site is a anti-hunting site. It gives arguments of why hunting should not be allowed. It goes through point by point the many negatives of hunting, trying to persuade the reader to be anti-hunting.

I will use this site to present what people believe to be the negatives of the sport. I will analyze them and see if they are respectable. This site is perfect and will help bring in both sides of the argument.

Jojola, Joe. “Fee Access Hunting: A Tribal Perspective.” 2001. White Mountain Apache Game and Fish Department. 27 Nov 2008. http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:3kPz5GY2TvQJ:www.muledeerworkinggroup.com/Docs/Proceedings/1988-Western%2520States%2520and%2520Provinces%2520Elk%2520Workshop/Fee%2520Access%2520Hunting%2520A%2520Tribal%2520Perspective.pdf+apache+indian+hunting+regulations&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us

This is a paper written by a member of the White Mountain Apache game and Fish Department. It tells of the pros and cons of the fee access hunting on the Indian Reservations. It explains some of the differences between the many reservations found throughout the country.

I will use this to help expound on the take on the fee access hunting. It will provide further insights into the program. Mainly I will use it to help me better understand the concept so I can explain it better and will be able to present a more thorough report to the readers.
Remini, Robert. “The Jacksonian Era.” U.S. History: Pre-Columbian to the New Millennium 2008. November 19, 2008 .

This is a site where Robert Remini was interviewed and asked questions about Andrew Jackson. Remini is one of the greatest researchers of the life of Andrew Jackson. He is asked many questions and it helps everyone better understand the views of Andrew Jackson.
This site will be important for the background information. Andrew Jackson played a large role in the relocation of the Native Americans. This will provide insight into his decisions throughout his presidency.

President Jackson's Message to Congress "On Indian Removal", December 6, 1830; Records of the United States Senate, 1789-1990; Record Group 46; Records of the United States Senate, 1789-1990; National Archives http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=true&doc=25.

Andrew Jackson spoke on Indian removal to the Senate, this is his speech. It gives further insight on the history of the 7th President of the United States. It is his view on these things.
The more I know the better I will be able to present the topic. This is a good way to understand more, a direct speech on the subject from the President himself. I will maybe use quotes from this so that the reader is able to understand Andrew Jackson better.
The Trail of Tears and the Forced Relocation of the Cherokee Nation. <http://www.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/118trail/118trail.htm>.

This is a government website that talks about the Trail of Tears. It helps the reader understand the subject better. It has many facts and names of important people. The Trail of Tears is a very heated subject that many don’t like to talk about.
I will quote numbers and important people from the site. It is a key puzzle piece to understanding the history of the Native Americans. I can not talk about Indian History without talking about the Trail of Tears.
United States Supreme Court. “Indian Removal Act of 1830.” United States Congress. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Brigham Young University. Nov 19. 2008 <https://www.epnet.com>.

The act that gave Andrew Jackson power to trade lands with the Indians and relocate them to west of the Mississippi. This act was very important in the history of the Indians. It did not give the President absolute control over them but it allowed them to bargain with the Indians although they were mistreated and misdealt with most of the time.
I will use this as an important subject matter on the history of the Indians. It gave the President the right to relocate the Indians onto reservation s west of the Mississippi. It will help explain the history of the Indians.
United States Supreme Court. “Samuel A. Worcester, plaintiff in error v. The State of Georgia.” Samuel A Worcester, Plaintiff in Error v. The State of Georgia; 1 (1997): 64. Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. Brigham Young University . 19 Nov. 2008 <https://www.epnet.com>.

This is a paper about the supreme court case. It just gives a little more insight into the case. It helps me understand better many things about the case and will help others too. It summarizes the case and gives a clearer explanation.
I will use this so that I have a better explanation about the case. It is hard to read Supreme Court cases sometimes so this will help clarify it in my mind so I can explain it better to others.
“White Mountain Apache Tribe, USA.” Guided – Trophy Elk Hunts. 2006. Wildlife and Outdoor Recreation Division. 2 Dec, 2008 <http://wmatoutdoors.org/new%20trophy%20elk.shtml>

This is the official site of the White Mountain Apache Tribe. It gives many useful facts about the hunts and includes prices and other important things too. It explains the hunts and what they include. It is an updated site so it is pretty recent.
I will use this to get information that I need about recent hunt statistics. It is important to know what happens on the hunts now. This is the best site because it is the official site of the organization.
Wilke,Dee. “Apache Tribal Nations.” The Apache Tribe. 2002. 4 Dec 2008. http://www.greatdreams.com/apache/apache-tribe.htm

This site is a pretty good history of the Apache Indian Tribe. It provides lots of history and facts. It is a good site and it has a lot of links that could be useful also. It talks about a variety of aspects including hunting.
I will use this site to help the reader better understand the history of the Apaches and how they did hunting in the past. This will help strengthen my argument and will be useful in many other ways.

Nov 16, 2008

Thus far on the research paper I have picked my topic which is Native Americans and to bring the environment aspect into my paper I am going to write about the hunting regulations that exist on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. I go there every year to fish, but hunting is what most people want to do there. More trophy elk come out of that area than any other area of its size in North America. I have heard many times people say from my hometown "Why can't us white folk hunt on that reservation without paying an arm and a leg?"
As far as research goes, I have researched mainly about the history of Indian Reservations and how they came into being. I have researched about the Trail of Tears and why the Indians were treated as they were. I have done some research, but not much, on the actual history of the hunting on the Apache Indian Reservation.
I plan on doing a history of the Indians and how they were treated in the past, mainly in the 1800's. This will show how they became sovereign areas and were able to make their own laws. Then I will show how this happened all across the united States. Then i will show that The Indian Tribe passed its own laws on the hunting in its territory and charged a lot of money to do so. Then I will end by saying how this affects and affected the environment and teh people around that area. I am a big procrastinator and have not done as much research as I should have at this point. I plan on using many sources and researching more.

Dec 8 2008

Our group chose to focus on the people that like excitement and the outdoors. We are going to focus on the activities available around the Provo area such as the ski resorts, the national parks, hot springs, hiking trails, and camping locations. We believe that these are the biggest attractions that BYU has to offer. we are also going to include the education because that is important too. Getting a good college education while still being able to do many outdoor activities is a great combination. The mountains and the scenery and what it offers are some of the greatest attractions BYU has to offer. We will include pictures and make it an attention grabbing brochure filled with excitement and adventure. The other audiences we could have focused on were the sports people, the honor code lovers, or the computer science groupies.

I have learned a lot about audience this semester. It is amazing how each part of the triangle affects the other two parts. By knowing the audience and who I want to focus on then I can change my message and voice to be persuasive to those kinds of people. The audience is why we write in the first place. We write so that someone will read it, and we want someone to read it to try and persuade them on some way of thinking. Knowing who is going to read it and what their way of thinking might be enables the author to adapt his writing to be the most persuasive as possible. This makes writing so much easier. In the future I will be able to write better papers because I will be able to know who I am writing my paper for. By adapting my writing style to specific people, it will take more affect on them. In my future classes I will be able to make stronger arguments because I will know what my message is and how I want to get that message across. Rhetoric is very important in every day of our lives, especially in the workplace. In the future, knowing who my audience is will enable me to be able to get a better job and hopefully make more money. The audience is the key. I don't talk the same to my grandparents as I do to my friends, so I wouldn't write about the same subject the same to two different audiences. The audience dictates how I want to present my message.
