The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was founded in 1944 and is considered the oldest representative of American Indian and Alaskan Native organization that serves and advocates for the interests of tribal governments and communities. 
The topic for the essay is concerning American Indian sovereignty and territoriality.  As you have seen in the NCAI report, self-governing is crucial to the survival and success of the First nation people.  Below is a series of articles that examine the history of sovereignty and the debate on whether the United States Congress  should limit or allow sovereignty for tribes in the United States.  Each article has to discuss the history and have knowledge of treaties and policies that have been made in the past.  
In this essay you will summarize and discuss for the class what you learned in the article. In this essay make sure you discuss what sovereignty means and whether your author approves of sovereignty or not for an American Tribe residing in the United States.  Discuss some of those policies or treaties you discovered in the articles. Also discuss what issues the First Nations deal with in having the ability to self govern.  Also add one paragraph discussing your view on American Indian sovereignty but as always refrain from using “I”.

Write a 12-15-page historiographical essay in which you compare and contrast the
scholarship in the field of women’s and gender history of late nineteenth/early
twentieth-century Egypt. The scholarly focus in the 1980s and 1990s was on the
Egyptian women’s movement in keeping with a more general interest in the study of
social movements, on the one hand, and women’s agency on the other. Gender
historians of the late 1990s and early 2000s began to shift the focus elsewhere. Please
analyze both scholarly trends with attention to the following elements: subject matter,
arguments, use of evidence, and methodological approach. Also address the emergence
of new questions, arguments or themes and/or the persistence or development of
interpretive differences. Discuss the overall strengths and weaknesses in the literature
as a whole.

Relationship between England and its colonies anaylyze in effect on American revolution by answering question

1. Write a critique/review of the two textbooks you were required to read for this class. In an online class there is much heavier reliance on written texts than in a conventional classroom-based class, so many of you have become intimately familiar with the Bloom/Blair and Hillenbrand texts. How do these texts try to present the study of Islamic art and how successful are they? In other words, think about the way the material was presented in each book, how it was arranged and the approaches that were used. You can obviously compare/contrast, but this assignment is much more than a simple “I liked Bloom/Blair but found Hillenbrand too difficult” evaluation. You are thinking about how one presents a complex subject like Islamic art with all its variables and permutations. How do these texts work, particularly for someone being exposed to Islamic art for the first time?
2. More and more museums are presenting their collections on the web and allowing virtual visitors access to the objects in their collections. Look at the web sites for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (www.metmuseum.org) and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (www.vam.ac.uk). Assess the information on the web sites that presents Islamic art. What sort of information is presented and how is it presented? Do these museum sites offer just an introduction to Islamic art and architecture or do they attempt to be more comprehensive? Again you may compare and contrast but try to imagine you are visiting the site as a newcomer to Islamic art; what impression would you come away with? You may comment on the design of the web sites, the arrangement of information, whatever you think is relevant.
3. If you are in the New York area, visit the new (as of late 2013) galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art devoted to the arts of the Islamic lands and write a review of the installation as if you’d been sent by a newspaper or magazine to cover the new galleries. What are the highlights? How does the MMA present its collection? Are the galleries used more as an educational tool or a traditional museum showplace? Make sure to be as specific as possible in your analysis/critique.

Assignment Content
As we know, history is alive through the connection between historical events and contemporary events that allow us to recognize, reflect, and apply the opportunities or challenges that arise. The varying culture and characteristics of the many native, migrated, or settlement people that eventually called the United States home also influenced how American civilization evolved and rose to meet challenges.
For this journal, you will discuss the historically influenced evolution of American civilization as follows:
First, you must identify and briefly describe each of the following:
a specific pre-Columbian culture (include its distinctive tribal attributes),
a specific colonial era settlement (include distinct regional characteristics),
a specific post-independence (after 1783) state or city settlement (include distinct characteristics), and
a specific Civil War era state or city (include distinct characteristics).
For each group listed above, discuss and describe the following: an example of a significant historical event that was influential during the time period,
a specific example of technology of the time and the impact of the technology, and
what we, as a society, have learned or taken from each of these historical societies that can be clearly seen in our current world.
Your journal submission must be a minimum of 500 words. No external sources or APA formatting is required; however, if you use resources directly, you must cite them properly.

Hi,
I’ve attached the original paper and a scanned copy with the corrections/suggestions from my professor.  Can you please help with a rewrite as well as adding three additional pages of content to the current paper using the suggestions she made?  You can add additional sources, but please use the format she showed for Chicago-styled footnote sources.

Begin the research paper with a one to two paragraph (half a page to three quarters of a page) introductory statement that highlights the importance of the selectedtopic and/or poses an intellectual question that the student wishes to answer.
6) The next four and one half to five and one half pages should be comprised of actual discussion and analysis of the selected topic itself, highlighting key characteristics and events associated with the subject.
7) Conclude the research paper with a one to two paragraph (three quarters of a page to one page) analysis as to how or why your selected topic is so significant to the study of the course in which you are enrolled, and what future impact or legacy will continue to be imparted as a result.
